Need some help guys, I'm in panic mode.... got my 1/8 Se5 and the plans are dry and very brittle.
When I started to unroll them they started to tear on the edges.
A friend suggested the following to try and salvage them:
Place the roll in the bathroom through several showers so the steam might impart some moisture to them
Call my State's Archives or Historical Society and see what they use on old old paper stuff to restore / salvage them.
Once I can get some moisture in them I can run a set of blueprints from them (are blueprints 100% accurate, or like a copier will you loose or gain a certain %?)
Thanks for any and all help / suggestions
