Julianb Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Reading an earlier thread on here, has anyone actually used a professional art/picture restorer to sort out a 45 label? Just wondering if what they use could damage the vinyl/styrene if it gets on the grooves!
boba Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 haha, i recently got a quote from a professional art restorer to restore a relatively simply designed but water damaged label. I would post the actual quote but I don't want it circulating with my name on it, but the quote was $3500. At that price I'm sure the vinyl / styrene would not be damaged.

boba Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I can do simple fixes, cleans, fill-ins, even removing pen and marker in some cases. I can't do a heavily stained label with tears with text missing. Anyways, here is the estimate:

Did they do the other side or didn't you want to take them "For Granted"…! Sorry. I'll get my coat….. Edited March 14, 2014 by Ivor Jones

boba Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I can print a new label and paste it on too but unless it's styrene and I can remove the old label, it's a pasted on label and not fixed 1

Guest Polyvelts Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 We always used lighter fuel to clean up soiled artwork, should work on labels to a certain extent.
Guest Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Hi Rod looking at dirt/biro removal. Label intact I've found a good quality soft rubber removes alot of the dirt from the label
