Restored KVKI Case - Don't Give Up on 'Em!

[Mark Holmes]

Here Here.....

Actually the only thin I would object to is the use of supper glue as it is not a Period available material glue, and fumes for it may damage whatever is in the case.

I would of used Elmer's school glue at least one could claim that glue like that was around back then.

As for using original materials why would you want to use such poor quality war grade stuff that is why the box fell apart in the first place.

and fumes for it may damage whatever is in the case.

I totally agree, but other that that, what a fantastic job. I would not have thought of that.

One thing though, if this set is going to be for sale at one point, remember to mention the restored case

This is not neccesary with a CAREFULLY and PROFESSIONAL restored '62 Citroen DS and a '69 Mustang.

When I say restored, I don't talk about the typical US "Pfuschwerk" in this branch. I'm talking about professional work with original parts.

All this has to do with RESPECT. Unfortunately the world is full of ignorants, kids in mind and idiots, who are destroying a lot of treasures with their tiny or fat asses easily.

you're hilarious, I've enjoyed your posts, please share more views

Good Job Don. I'm sure that Dr. Love himself had to start somewhere. The most important thing here is that you had a Learning experience. You made it functional again. Cool Deal! All the best, Butch

I have to jump in and admit that this is the single most incoherent and unnecessary response I've read on this forum.......ever.
Get a grip on yourself! The case he took the time and effort to restore, probably wasn't worth the price of professional restoration. He did a good job restoring it to displayable condition, and it certainly doesn't merit the nonsensical and over-reactive response above.
Good work, Don.

Cheers,
Bob.

Great job Don for the restoration.

but from my experience as a fossil collector, i wonder if the use of water-based PVA glue (very often used to repair fossils), would be a much better choice than super glue.

while a water-based PVA glue might take slightly longer to try, it would not damage the paper based box that much as opposed to solvent super glue.

PVA glue is also transparent when dried up and equally as strong in my opinion.

just my 2 cents.

Thanks, all - I've learned a lot on this thread (beyond the fact that a certain member is a douschebag). I appreciate the kind words and suggestions!

Nice job! Better than I could ever do. By the by, WHO is Dr. Love? I have heard that he's good at resotration--where does one find him?

[The Dragon]

I dont like cases with paper hinges because they are prone to splitting but I like what you did by using the material from inside the case to repair it, I never thought of doing that before.

Well done

Very creative thinking & a job well done
Very good Don!

Very odd to see the word "RESPECT" in the same posting...
Obviously to you it applies only for historic arctifacts, not for other members...

I think he did a good job on the case.
The case "useless" the way it was, now it looks like a good case again.
Not an item you would spend a fortune on, like a '62 Citroen or a '69 Mustang...

If that is your opinion, fine, but it would have been better to keep it to yourself in this case, or post it in a RESPECTFULL way.
