What kind of eraser to use?
I bought a current statistics textbook at a favorable price. When it
arrived, I saw that one chapter was greatly underlined in red pencil. The paper is the usual slightly shiny paper that you see in college textbooks nowadays. Any idea which type of eraser to use? I also looked for an arts newsgroup to post this, but could not find one. David Ames |

You can't erase it, the effect will just be to smear the wax around. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

Colored pencil is certainly harder to remove than the standard graphite, so you may only be able to reduce it to a fainter pinkish line. My favorite erasers are the white ones; they don't tear the page, they don't leave smears (unless you've got some leftover graphite on them) and they get more off the page than anything else I've used. I'm not an expert. I don't know if there are different kinds of white erasers. But every one I've used has been great, as long as it was relatively new (don't use them if they've started to harden or discolor). -Allison -- .. |

David Ames If the recommended erasers don't work, you may need to try a solvent. Get out some q-tips, and in this order (and in different locations), dab just a BIT of lighter fluid or Thoro dry cleaning fluid. Those products are available at the grocery store. I've had better luck with the Thoro on colored pencil and crayon, but it can be a tedious process. Don't smear. Just wet the q-tip a bit and dab. There's also the hairspray theory....but I think it could leave a residue on paper (although it works great for getting ballpoint pen ink off clothing). Kris |

Only one of them will use solvents other than water. She uses tanks which will not release any fumes, and eventually has a connection which will release them through a series of pipes outside of her place of business in the open air. It is the only really dangerous kind of paper restoration and she is the most expensive such specialist. I have never seen her deal with more than a few pages at a time, and the best practical way to use her is for work on an artist's drawing. Then her bill is small compared to the value of the thing. The only useful thing to you about this post is the idea to go to that sort of person for advice. Your book is not worth their while, but their information might be useful to you. I have often been temopted to buy wonderful books with a few pages of childish crayoning on them, but I have not done so since I learned this. Sincerely, Annibale |

If you feel my query was "rubbish," why didn't you just ignore it? At least I've got a real name to go by. The implication was the opposite - "reposter" was reposting your article in a (probably misguided) attempt to put some real content back in the group after the deluge of **** we've had lately. I haven't bothered reading them, but do all the forgeries have the same NTTP-Posting-Host line, or are they otherwise provably the work of one individual? (Some sorts of libel are criminal offences almost everywhere, and if shutting this pillock up means getting the cops round to take the offender's computer away for forensics, so be it). ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |
