How to Repair Your wet books



Sometimes, we are careless to keep our books and put it in everywhere. For instance, when we spend our evening time by tea time we put our book at side of our glass, and then when we want to take it to read, accidentally we drop our tea on our book. Another example, when we store our book in our bag, we also store our mineral bottle in our bag sometimes the bottle enclosed right then the mineral water drop to our book and get wet. If it occurs, what should we do? I try to find out the way to repair wet book and then I search by Google there are so many article about it and I share here, in fact There are two ways which you should do when your book get wet. You can use the first way that is by clothes iron and for the second way by fan or sunlight. But, do not be confused because both of that ways are able to accomplish your problem.



First way is by clothes iron
You need three things for preparation, there are blotting paper or towel paper (it used to soak up wet pages), then clothes iron (it used to dry up your wet book), and the last thing is ironing board (it used as a place when you are ironing your wet book).

Now, let’s see the steps:

 Place your book on the ironing board
 Stick on the blotting paper or tower's papers on every wet page.
 Plug in your iron, adjust it in every gentle like silk, wait until it heat and then turn off the steam.
 Iron your wet book pages by pages, move your iron clothes carefully and slowly, from side to side from up to down. Because if you move it in rush, you will make the wet pages tear.
 The last repeat this action until you think it have been enough dry.


The second way is by fan or sunlight
For the second way, you also need three things for preparation and there are only little bit differences in ways and preparation. You also use blotting paper/towel paper (it used to soak up wet pages), fan (it used to dry up your wet book), and wide area in the yard.

Here are the steps:


 Stand your wet book on the wide area in the yard and check that the sun is lighting; do not put your wet book when it is cloudy.
 Stick on the blotting paper on every wet page.
 Plug in your fan and turn on it, place it toward to your wet book and wait until it dry.

I suggest you to use the first way because it is easily and quickly than the second way. I called the second way is manual way because it needs long time in process. If you choose the first way you must be careful and you have to pay attention when you are ironing the wet pages, do not leave it during ironing because it will cause bad effect that is the iron will burn the paper when it has been dry. The last if you are child do not do it alone, ask helping to your old sister or brother (Minimum 12 years old.
