[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 480959, member: 7379"] Best of luck with this, Ham. I completely agree that a few seconds of steam should be harmless enough, and should also allow for a better card straightening as a result. A friend of mine had a nightmare accident where his boiler failed whilst he was on holiday. That boiler was in his display room and although there was an air vent in the room, it completely filled it with steam for an unknown length of time. As soon as he arrived back and discovered the problem, he switched off the boiler, vented the steam and then set about trying to minimise the damage by lying all his MOCs flat on some plaster board sheets to help dry them out. Most of his cards were from the modern line, but his collection also included some vintage MOCs. Almost miraculously, he got away with suffering minimal damage. Only one single modern bubble came away from its cardback. The rest survived OK. As I say, it is not known how long the steam had been present in the room before he discovered it, but it was certainly an awful lot longer than just a few seconds, so I can't see any problems with using Edd's technique on your MOC. Let us know how you get on :-) [/QUOTE]
