Re: Acid-free materials sold in stores
Joanne,
You might try using a crepe eraser (The University Products catalog calls it
an "Adhesive Pick-up Square" - I've also seen it called a rubber cement
pick-up.) They can work nicely with some adhesives. Try rubbing gently
from the edge of the adhesive - when it works, it will roll the adhesive
into a little ball which can then be picked off with tweezers. They can
often be found at art supply stores, too.

Speaking of photographs.....
I am in the middle of processing photographs. One group is stored in
separate "folders" of acid free paper. The backs of all these photos have a
tacky residue on them, possibly they were removed from one of those
"magnetic" albums. I have tried removing the residue with a document
cleaning pad, with "Skum-X" and using a soft eraser, all with negligible
results.
Two questions:
Is there a way to remove this tacky residue?
