Douga very stuck to cel
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 2:31 pm
Hey guys, I recently purchased this cel from Kiki's Delivery Service which came stuck back to back with a douga from a different part of the scene.

It seems specifically to be stuck by Osano's apron and Kiki's dress, so I'm guessing those paint colors became like glue at some point.
I've been trying to separate them using the method of leaving it in my screened porch room at night but it is not working great. It made no progress for several nights except for last night. it stormed and got so humid that I could start peeling them apart a little but it is leaving a thin layer of paper on the paint so I'm stopping to ask for advice.
Is there another easy and safe way to separate them that won't be as damaging to the douga? If I can't separate them without further damage, SHOULD I separate them?
I read the paper becoming acidic over time will damage the cel. If I continue with the same method, the front of the douga should be fine but the back will be thinner in some places. Is that acceptable?
Any advice on how to proceed with this would be appreciated, thanks.
