Wet cleaning, Staple cleaning, tape removal, immacuwashing a Double-Signed X-men 4

In this book I clean an X-men 4 that was double signed by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby... yes that's right both "The Man" and "The King".

Pardon the background noises from my kids playing behind me. I don't get much time with them so I like to have them around when I am working, noise and all. I could have edited it to silence but I sort of like hearing them and it is, after all, my channel, lol.

I wet cleaned this book in my comic book washer with immacuclean, removed and electrocleaned the staples with a power supply and with my electrocleaning solution. (you can make your own or wait for me to share a recipe), I then removed the tape by softening it with a solvent (toluene and Triton X-100), then of course I reassembled and pressed the book. This is a risky operation and shouldn't try these techniques on anything you are not willing to damage accidentally. Lots of practice helps.

I will someday be selling the tape removal tool (which wasn't my idea, similar things have been around for decades. I just copied the design) and the comic book washing mashing (which was my idea).

I need to keep up the R&D to make them cheaper and more effective and that requires more time and money than one might suspect.

which would you rather see first? The comic book washing machine or the tape removal tool? Let me know!
