Im having a couple issues with the lye method and hopefully someone would be able to help.
First off is shrinking of the paper. I searched the thread and found out that if it shrinks you are either putting too much in or not letting it fully dissolve. I feel that no matter how little i put it it will still shrink. Is there anythin i can do to prevent this?
Also, the bigger issue, is that after removing it from the lye and starting to scrub the ink off, the bill becomes extremely pink and is not the beige/white color it once was. I am clueless on how to fix this and could not find anything using the search feature. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks. |
