<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 110590, member: 78&quot;]Hi Scout,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Wingel is antacid like Maalox and others. It just stops the browning and falling apart from the heavy acidic wood pulp. I can attest to saving newspaper. Anything that is hand signed or photographs you decide. Anything that is printed on wood pulp paper needs treatment or it will disappear. I have a 1942 book which is dark brown and crumbling, I was lucky enough to find a copy in 1950 and treated it. It is perfectly fine unlike it&#039;s brother. It does not brighten just treats the acidity so it does not break down. I tried it on photos that were &quot;pasted&quot; onto the cardboard&nbsp; backing and it stopped the browning. When I was in school I could not afford the archival paper so I used the soaking solution and reframed a lot of photographs with my home made archival paper. The older photographs I gently removed the backings and treated them then reattached them to the photos.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
