Removing/replacing Bellows Papers

[richard]

Hello

 

I am planning to replace the bellows papers on an Anglo concertina, for aesthetic reasons.

 

Does anyone have practical suggestions, learned from experience, that they might want to pass on?

 

Some questions:

 

1. Is it crazier to paste new papers on top of old ones, OR, to carefully remove the old ones, then put on the new ones.

 

2. Should old papers come off easily with a slight moistening?

 

Any practical advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Richard

There is an old thread here with lots of info (I recall a discussion of glues, etc.) - someone may be able to find it for you.
