: Now if the sticky stuff is actually just something like rubber cement : applied unspeakably smoothly on the back of the print, how would one : get that off? btw, if it is truly rubber based and not contact adhesive, then an ammonia solution can be used - again it won't harm the paper or the image if it's shellac based (very unlikely!) alcohol would work if it's a thick, gooey vile sticky mess then oil of turpentine or oil of cloves, followed by a rinse in acetone will do the trick (acetone removes the oil residue) it's all a matter of the right solvent for the job, and sometimes the solvents have to be applied in an order to remove the residue of the previous solvent. if all else fails and you have some sort of chemoplastic adhesive like a 2 pack (super unlikey) then good ol' steam will do it but you'd want to lay the print face down on something smooth for the task, work fast so you don't lift the plastic protective film on the paper .. that's the bit that makes it RC instead of FB ;-) k -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
