I have two photo albums with old relatives in but they have stuck photos in with glue, when you try and take off, vital information is written on the back. oh no!!!!!!!!!please do not use glue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joyce, maybe your local museum may be able to advise of a clever way to remove the photos without removing the writing. Or even a record office may know, or a good copy shop or photographer's studio. Worth a try if you think the info is going to be important. Maz. XX

Joyce; There is a product available called "Un-Do" it is brilliant for getting things out of albums etc that have been stuck down. Although it look devestating when you first put it on, the photos dry without effect and usually glue free!! In Australia it is available at Scrapbooking stores and Bunnings Hardware Warehouses have it. It isn't cheap but a little goes a very long way. I am never without some in the house as it is great for removing stickers and price labels as well! I have never had a disaster with it yet!! HTH Sonja
