Poster I recently got has gooey tape residue on the back corners.
I know it was framed just before I bought it, so I assume it's because the tape has just been steamed off.
Anyway to remove, or at least get rid of the stickiness?
Cheers,
Rich

Bestine, if you are in the U.S. I got some at Aaron Brothers Art and Framing an art store in Ca. not sure if they are nation wide?
Does anyone know if Acetone is the same? Eric |

Yeah, bestine is the way to go. In a pinch, you could use lighter fluid. Needless to say, you shouldn't smoke when you are doing so

acetone takes nail polish off and if you sniff it you get a headache.

Hi Rich,
It's nice to see that we have some pro guys at minor issues, I like that! so Bestine is absolutely right! Use a paint brush, small round tip, coarse oil brush, you know, what artist use. Dab the sticky part with Besting and use the brush in small circular motion till you see the residue curl up. Quickly wipe with paper towel. Let dry, run finger over, still sticky? Do over again. Make sure the poster is flush against a hard surface, so you don't tear the paper. Cheers, dario. |
