stenciled chalk?
Aloha folks,
I have not seen this anywhere before so I bow to your collective
wisdom. We have an small photo album (Health for Hawaii: the Story
in Pictures) with the nasty black paper complete with a title page, table
of contents, chapter titles, all very useful. However, the title,
etc. seems to have been stenciled on with what looks like white chalk,
which has been rubbing off since 1938.
I've been trying to think of ways to protect the chalk from any more
rubbing. Interleaving with acid-free tissue, paper, Mylar?
Any other suggestions?
Mahalo nui loa,
Judy Kearney
