I've used ten% Hydrogenperoxid for about two years now, no issues. Sometimes I have achieved good results already after 10 minutes, other times soaked overnight! Usually a longer fourth dimension in the bathroom goes fine for most stamps, withal I always pay attention during the kickoff 30mins. I have experienced a few stamps with inks that is more than apace bleached-out than others, and then need to stop the cleaning afterwards five-10 minutes. Obviously this applies to chalky paper, but too ink on normal paper too, so its seems it has something to do with the quality of the ink itself and not merely the paper. French stamps, as in Tobbens example, are great for cleaning. I have had Napoleons and Ceres in bath overnight without any issues. British stamps are more tender, also the ones on normal paper. Penny red was mentioned, I cleaned many of them and they are doing great in peroxid! Victoria starts looking young again Below is an instance I tried for two days in the bathroom. I sacrificed the stamp for the better of 'philatelic studies', the left office was cut off prior to soaking. The entire postage had a deep yellow tone - the role that was soaked for two days emerged with crystal white paper and a fresh color. The prototype really doesn't fifty-fifty reveal how deeply yellow the postage was originally, it is much more yellow before my optics than it appears on my screen. |

| stainlessb qaStaHvIS yIn 'ej chep Posts: three,241 | Mail by stainlessb on Sept 26, 2019 22:22:51 GMTI've soaked Penny Reds and Blues, and even medallions for 5 - 7 days* (water with a drop of articulate detergent... in my mini-bath Petri dish)- rinse for 30 seconds to a minute, blot of and press between paper towels and a thick piece of stainless steel plate. I take not had any bad experiences (yet). Will definitely endeavour the iii% peroxide.Not sure I've seen information technology labeled as x% . Used to keep 20 volume ~vi% (from the beauty supply store) which was great for cleaning/sterilizing algal culture bottles back when i did that sort of affair. * beginning time this happened was because I'd forgotten about them. To my relief they were fine |

| renden A slap-up fourth dimension for "stamping" and making more friends Posts: 6,137 | Post past renden on Sept 26, 2019 22:24:38 GMT Very adept event Tobben! I've used 10% Hydrogenperoxid for nearly 2 years now, no issues. Sometimes I accept achieved expert results already after 10 minutes, other times soaked overnight! Normally a longer fourth dimension in the bathroom goes fine for nearly stamps, however I always pay attention during the first 30mins. I have experienced a few stamps with inks that is more quickly bleached-out than others, so demand to stop the cleaning afterwards 5-10 minutes. Manifestly this applies to chalky paper, merely also ink on normal paper as well, so its seems information technology has something to do with the quality of the ink itself and not simply the paper. Jon blaamand - in Canada and United states, Hydrogen Peroxide is sold in a 3% solution - In Norway, information technology must be different - Since I have no experience with it on stamps, I accept your theory/and protocol ( but ten% you cannot buy here) |

without a prescription and nobody uses it in medicine anymore.......except dentists !! Thank you| blaamand Currently creating custom pages until 1940. Posts: 1,392 | Postal service by blaamand on Sept 27, 2019 viii:29:28 GMTNeat. Probably 3% volition do the same thing, but takes longer. Perhaps that'due south likewise more than gentle and easy to control with regards to the experiences I explained in previous post (nearly some inks getting washed-out by the 10% solution). |

| renden A great fourth dimension for "stamping" and making more than friends Posts: 6,137 | Post by renden on Sept 27, 2019 12:57:23 GMT Peachy. Probably 3% will practise the same thing, merely takes longer. Perchance that's likewise more gentle and easy to control with regards to the experiences I explained in previous mail (about some inks getting washed-out by the ten% solution). I like your response which is positive, Jon blaamand - nonetheless I question the fourth dimension for a stamp to be in the solution - Take yous looked at StampSmarter's protocol - link put a few posts ago for tobben63 ? He is talking seconds with the 3 % - this weekend I volition experiment with dups !! |

| stainlessb qaStaHvIS yIn 'ej chep Posts: three,241 | Mail by stainlessb on Sept 28, 2019 2:01:22 GMTTonight I did several 30 minute tests with 3% hydrogen peroxide Results equally presently as they dry out! I did notice that heavily gummed stamps the 30-minute soak wasn't enough to remove all glue.... and I await tat postage stamp to adhere to my blotter (aka paper towel) But I could reduce cleaning time to 30 minutes (or fifty-fifty an hour) versus overnight or several days.... that'south a huge plus! And everybody gets a bath!! |

| tobben63 Stamp eat sleep repeat Posts: i,394 | Post by tobben63 on Sept 28, 2019 2:19:twenty GMT Cracking. Probably 3% will exercise the same matter, just takes longer. Maybe that'southward too more gentle and easy to command with regards to the experiences I explained in previous post (about some inks getting washed-out by the ten% solution). I like your response which is positive, Jon blaamand - however I question the time for a stamp to be in the solution - Take you looked at StampSmarter's protocol - link put a few posts agone for tobben63 ? He is talking seconds with the iii % - this weekend I will experiment with dups !! Yep, just he likewise say: I think this is something we accept to experiment with. Do not use your most expencive stamps. |
| blaamand Currently creating custom pages until 1940. Posts: 1,392 | Postal service by blaamand on Sept 28, 2019 ten:55:07 GMTAbsolutely agree with Tobben, This still needs experimentimg. I've already done this for two years, and my conclusion is that different stamps behave differently, cannot notice a recipe that is valid for all stamps. Some stamps can soak for many hours, others not As I said before, use your dups if you have any, or alternatively other stamps from the same series/fourth dimension age of that state. René, even if stuff is written on stampsmarter it doesn't necessarily make information technology universal truths. My own repeated experience doesn't always match what it says on stampsmarter. Demand to be open-minded and try ourselves with unlike stamps. Doe , I don't know nearly getting whiter than the original. I guess it can happen for some stamps. In general miscoloured stamps never get as make clean every bit a well preserved postage, unremarkably the newspaper of well preserved stamps remain more white than cleaned stamps. I have cleaned lots of stamps on coloured/tinted papers, and the colours/tinting of the papers haven't been afflicted equally far equally I've experienced so far. Evidently this tin can be different for other stamps. Yous demand to try yourself, effort with some 'leftover' stamps first. 😊 About cleaning gum etc - I commonly make clean stamps on clean water first, to remove hinges, old mucilage etc - then clean in hydrogen peroxide after of needed. Sometimes even only h2o is sufficient to clean old stamps 😊 |

| stainlessb qaStaHvIS yIn 'ej chep Posts: 3,241 | Postal service by stainlessb on Sept 29, 2019 23:52:41 GMT60 minutes- new bottle of 3% Hydrogen peroxide. Stamps scanned at same settings. stamps had been previously soaked to remove hinges or newspaper and you tin see in the "Before" where all the gum did non come off (Belgie stamp was on paper, but the cancellation missed it) In retrospect, it might have been more useful to have scanned individually Earlier Later- Belgisch Congo brighter, South Wales- stains on border gone, simply it looks a scrap "paler", France one c - slightly brighter, merely not significantly, Penny Reds- both brighter, 40c Belgie borders whiter, but coloring slightly paler I will experiment some more on other dupes , but this seems that information technology is a useful option to have! |

| stainlessb qaStaHvIS yIn 'ej chep Posts: 3,241 | Post by stainlessb on Sept 30, 2019 1:12:24 GMTI am at present setting aside any "stained/yellowed/soiled (?) stamps , peculiarly of different colors/ink. Penny Reds, French Ceres and Napoleon all seem pretty stable= I have many early Kingdom of belgium dupes and I volition even guinea pig a couple of medallions. Peroxide is obviously not for all stamps, and h2o with a driblet of clear dishwashing soap my exist a better coice for some.... and in that location may be some just just leave "as it" Othere's using peroxide i hope volition report successes and failures- information technology'south all a learning procedure as to the slight fading- the remaining peroxide looked just every bit articulate as when I started (to the naked middle... well my naked eye!) |

Mail service by feebletodix on Sept 30, 2019 xx:06:25 GMTA number of recent acquisitions have had an odour I cannot shift with evidently water, washing upward liquid or scrubbing and then I intend to try hydrogen peroxide as a quick rinse/scrub then rinse in clean h2o to find out if they will loose their smell. I will propose if succesful and/or failures. | |
| blaamand Currently creating custom pages until 1940. Posts: i,392 | Post by blaamand on November 13, 2019 13:27:40 GMTAgreed tobben63 - we should try and neglect - and hopefully share some of the results in this forum I constitute a Large Queen in such a badly toned state, I had zero to loose even if the Hydrogen Peroxide would fail. The moving picture below at left was taken after a long soak in hot water, which obviously did non improve the situation much. The postage stamp was literally ready for the trash-bin... So, Victoria had some other bath in Hydrogen Peroxide, 10%. Outset she had an initial bathroom of 5 minutes, with piffling or no effect at all. So I allow her soak for one hour, and she was starting to look more cheerful. The original color seemed to remain as it was, so I tried for some other 3 hours - and I finally let her soak overnight. In full the postage every bit pictured on the correct has had virtually 12 hours in peroxide, and the color still wait like as a fresher version of the original, merely more fresh. However the ugly toning of the paper is significantly reduced. Possibly I could take given her yet another bath to get all toning away completely? The ink used for this stamp seems to have proven to be strong and not weakened/paled past the peroxide, only I did not run a risk any more as I think the result was satisfactory, at least for my use anyway. The postage stamp still doesn't wait perfect, but certainly it doesn't await like ready for the trash-bin as she did before. (Edit) - Now - wouldn't it take been not bad if the peroxide repaired blunt perforations every bit well ! |
