Paper cleaning/restoration?

Postby JPCass » Sat Apr 18, 2015 11:08 pm

What, if anything, can be done with old/original reel strips and award cards to clean them up? Is there a way to at least remove surface grime, like washing with a cotton ball and distilled water?

Thanks,



JP

I have had good luck using NOXEMA SKIN CREAM and a paper towel.
works well on paper and metal strips.
it has no grit, so, it will not scratch.
