malcolmbebb Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) I'd like to freshen up the bellows papers on a Lachenal tutor concertina. Just a bit grubby, with a couple of glue marks. I'm thinking of using a damp sponge. But thought I'd check first to see if there is a better way. Any suggestions? Thanks!

d.elliott Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Bellows glues are not waterproof and the printing on the old papers can easily rub off with a damp cloth or sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Better to just enjoy playing it as it is. As Dave says glues are water based and printed patterns are not waterproof. Brush off any loose dust with a soft dry brush and leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
