<VV> CORVAIR CARDBOARD

[jwcorvair at aol.com]

I find this a very interesting thread. The cardboard is so cheap, I can't imagine trying to save old cardboard. However, when I get new cardboard I want to "protect" it somehow so that it will last a long time. I have thought of spraying the back side and edges of new cardboard with some kind of clear plasticoat that will be water resistant. Has anybody tried protecting new cardboard?

If you're asking the question regarding my epoxy fix for deteriorated
cardboard, the answer is "probably". If you carefully soak the cardboard
with the epoxy mixture from the backside, it may not penetrate to the
finished side. However, if the cardboard is that deteriorated, the finished
side is probably bad too. So soak the whole thing then paint with a matte or
flat finish of your choice.

Git-Rot is a low-viscosity epoxy, as is

Smith & Co's (phone 510-237-6842)

and System Three's Penetrating Epoxy.

There's also a web site:

which may help.
