Removing Acid from Pictures in Old Scrapbooks

Video Transcript

"Hi, welcome back to Expert Village! You're watching arts and crafts and everything fun. Today we're learning all about scrapbooking and with me is Sonya Shepherd from the Crop Circle, she's teaching us how to salvage your old photo album. You just taught us how to cut the picture, that's on the page that we couldn't get out with any other tool. You sprayed that mist, the Archival Mist and now you want to test to make sure that the acid is gone or neutralized. Guest Sonya- "We're going to use our PH testing pen, you can get this from us at the Crop Circle and we're just going to do a little swipe on here, it doesn't matter where we do it because we're at the back of this paper. This is going to turn a color, it's turning a little bit orange. The orange will mean it's still a little bit acidic, so we're going to respray and we're gong to test this again. You want this to turn purple and that means that the acid has been neutralized. This is the steps that you go on, back and forth, back and forth until you've gotten the result that you need". Great! And you can get these products at the Crop Circle.
