Repairing corner dings/ edge dings?
Was wondering if anyone had some tips for removing small dings, dents etc. I have a few prints with small dings that are not valuable enough for a trip to poster mountain. Any tips for removing these myself? Was thinking about using an iron, lightly moistened rag and a flat surface. Obviously, I will be testing this method out on a disposable print. Anyway, any help, ideas, tips, would be greatly appreciated!

people say spooning is good but my personal preference isn't using the bottom of the spoon and depends on what kind of flatware you have. I use the end of our forks or spoons (where you hold the utensil) because it is a flat, dull surface that is about 1/2" long. This gives you more control over the area you are trying to flatten. If you actually use the bottom of a spoon it doesn't give you as much control over the exact area you are trying to flatten IMO.
And introducing water and heat is a whole 'nother level. I'd be careful with all that...
GL!

Thanks for the advice! I've read a few people have had some success with heat, but I'm going to try the spoon/ tool method and see how that goes first. I'm dealing with pretty minor stuff that would all frame out but it would be nice to be able to fix this kind of thing.
Thanks again for help
