Not very many youtubers will show repairs like this and I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Thank you so much, and also for showing the tools and products you use.

I think it's better to show how I do it then have people experiment on their own with methods that do more harm.

I have a copy of Whiz thats so badly damaged that only one staple exists and most of the spine is gone. I'll send it to you for a video

Sounds like a candidate for advanced conservation methods. It might take me a while to do a video on that. If you need information from me for shipping you can contact me on Instagram just do a search for kollectingkaos

Ooooh that one has seen better days for sure. Poor old thing. I always throw them little bits that fall off away! Yes don't forget to read it, that's a very important part of the process for sure. Very cool to watch and hear your commentary mate, I wonder if it's worth getting all that gear and spruce up a couple of my older comics. I have a rusty staple, do you think I should take it out and throw it away or replace it maybe?

@KollectingKaos 4 жыл бұрын

it depends on the staple, if it's just a bit of surface rust, white vinegar can remove it, but don't leave it in more than a few hours, the first time I left one in for two days by accident and it was almost completely gone when I came back. Once the rust is off, you might want to coat the staple with a varnish to keep it from returning. Make sure it is completely dry before putting it back in the comic. You can replace them, but make sure you use staples from another comic from about the same year.

Could you repair a book for me, of course for a charge... Thanks...

@KollectingKaos 2 жыл бұрын

There is a liability issue that keeps me from doing repairs for other people. Even if you made an agreement that you would not hold me accountable if I made the book worse, I would still feel obligated to replace it with a copy as good as or better than the original. That is what keeps me from working on comics that I do not own. Thank you for the question though.

Thanks for the video….very helpful. I noticed you only put the mending tape on the inside of the cover; on the torn area around the staples, is it “sticky” on the other side of the cover? I thought you might put tape on the outside as well. Seems like the exposed tape would be sticky around the staples once re-attached.

@KollectingKaos 2 жыл бұрын

yes, but I use a dusting of Methyl celulose to get rid of the sticky, I suppose I should show that at some point as well.

Part of doing repairs is deciding what can or should be repaired, I am sorry if the video was not what you wanted to see, but I still thank you for the comment.
