of carbon black on historical documents and plans. The cleaning
can be performed manually or – with careful handling – with appliances,
e.g. orbital disc sander.
 |
Spread akawipe over the object
to be cleaned and rub the powder
per hand (woollen glove) over the surface until akawipe has absorbed the soiling. |
| For flat objects, a slow turning orbital disc sander with soft felt disks
can be used without applying too much
pressure. During the cleaning process, new powder must be added once the soiling absorption capacity is reached. The surfaces to be cleaned must be absolutely dry and must not stain nor chalk. |
