<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 1576230, member: 5213&quot;]I am doing it VERY AMATEURLY the problem I have been running into is that out of the 3 dags I have done they all have had different sized glass covers!! I had 6 covers cut for me at the typical size 2.75in x 3.25in and out of the 3 only one had those exact dimensions whereas the others were different by a fraction of an inch like 1/8in or 1/16in. Due to this when refitting them back into the case they tend to stretch at one corner... Having glass cut to the exact size would be a chore so I am going to experiment with sanding them down a tad. Any ideas on what grit anyone??</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, for restoration I read this guide and found it very useful.&nbsp; <a href="http://vieilalbum.com/Tech01US.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://vieilalbum.com/Tech01US.htm" rel="nofollow">http://vieilalbum.com/Tech01US.htm</a> The one thing the guide doesn&#039;t talk about is that you can safely soak a daguerreotype in distilled water to remove gunk and debris. Just dry by blowing it with air can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
