I have a very soaked logbook here that I'm not sure if it can be
salvaged. I've kept it in a wet state all weekend (like the recovered
black box from an airliner crash) and now I don't know what to do.
Should I try to dry it out and then separate the pages?
Or should I try to separate the pages with paper towels and then let
them dry?
I've tried both with varying results. This logbook's paper is
especially fragile, like hand-made paper. So far whenever I open the
book all I do is tear the page.
Suggestions, short of going to an art restorer?

Thanks Minny.
Based on the article, it looks like I did everything wrong. It says I
should have frozen the book ASAP until I was ready to work on it,
then defrosted a page at a time using a hair dryer. When the book
starts to get wet again (because it is defrosting), be patient, re-
freeze the book, and continue another day.
Patience, now!

i know the feeling rick, i would have done the same thing you did. when i
read your post i was curious and so did a quick google search. i found the
article to be very informative and remembered some of the information from
other times. thought it would be good stuff for any of us to know, as there
will always be wet logbooks somewhere, someplace.
