Fixing My "Fixes" on a Scuffed Print

[omgkitty]

Alright guys, I've drymounted up. Somehow last weekend, I managed to scuff my Moss Super Mario print, and right as I was about to sell it. I was pulling it out from under another print when I noticed some light scuffing in two spots. I decided to try and fix it and ordered one of these:

Well, it finally arrived today and when I used it, it seemed to help the scuffing, but then it did something else. It didn't leave a mark exactly, but now my print has this bright sheen to it when those spots are viewed under light where I rubbed it with the pad. You can see the before and after's below:







Does anyone have any advice? I honestly feel like the pictures make it look worse than it does in person as it's much brighter in the pictures. I'm honestly not really sure what I should do now

I have some advice: don't use that drymountin thing to fix prints

Well your workspace looks tidy...not sure what could've gone wrong.

In all seriousness though, from the pics the after looks worse than before.

That's the extra bedroom. I just set it there so it was directly under the light.

What you need is a kneadable eraser, that thing will not do what u want

Yeah, but will the eraser fix what I've already done?

Yes possibly. I think I might make a video for you on how to do this, so that this never has to happen again. I saw someone recommended this document cleaning pad in another thread. Well this is the outcome. Be warned, people.

What he has will work but it looks like he went after it like the clit commander. I dunno if a kneadable eraser will fix that....I bet poster mountain can though!

I honestly didn't go at it that hard. I didn't go very fast at all and only rubbed for a few seconds at a time.

Rubbing anything against the delicate black paint of a screenprint can only produce this type of result. The eraser might be able to lift some of what was done here, but the scuff you showed in the original pictures might have never been able to get back to normal anyway.

Never tried it but it might help.

I feel so bad.

I've used the document cleaning pad mentioned here on 3 different prints (Stout 'Spaced', Moss 'Mononoke', and Stout 'Inglourious Basterds') on pure black ink areas and it's worked like a drymounting charm, never leaving anything like that. I really don't know if I'm just doing it differently or just extremely lucky?!?
