<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 592263, member: 201&quot;]I have original late 19th century sketches on paper that are glued to another sheet of paper that was probably originally in a notebook. Some of these sketches are back to back with the notebook paper in the middle, some are only one-sided.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d love to separate the pages from the notebook paper. In the past, I&#039;ve soaked 19th century scrapbook pages in lukewarm water to loosen the contents, but these sketches were drawn/painted with what appears to be both water-based paint and pastels. So water is a no-no.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know when the sketches were glued to the backing paper, so have no clue what kind of glue was used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think using a hair dryer might work to loosen the glue or could it possibly mess up the art work and/or make the paper too fragile? Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks for any thoughts...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
