I have a couple small (but noticable), spots of sticky residue on a very expensive/rare print. Any suggestions/recommendations on how to remove the spots or a professional with experience in this field? Thanks.

Poster Mountain is great but so are a lot of paper conservators. It is usually helpful if you know what the sticky stuff is to have it removed. I had an oil stain removed from the corner of a print but it had to find out what was n the oil first.

Poster Mountain is just the most widely advertised around here.

I have a poster that Poster Mountain has said they'd rather not work on and am looking for alternatives. What are the other places that ppl have had good experiences with?

i don't believe all of PM's work is up to archival standards (ie reversible), so if it is really a rare/expensive print, you may want to look into other options
