Soak again in water ( I know this sounds really dumb, but it works) Warm water is best for atleast overnight, then slide apart. Hang to dry and you will not have any further damage to the photos) If they are already water damaged, you may need to have them manipulated back to their original condition. ********* I would immerse them in cool water for no longer than is required, checking every 15 minutes or so. Warm water may soften the emulsion enough to cause damage as you separate them, and soaking too long may cause the emulsion layer to separate from the paper backing. Also, I recommend distilled water for this since even good tap water can contain chlorine, fluorine and traces of minerals such as calcium and iron.

Can someone without renters insurance sue for contents damage?

Generally speaking, anyone can sue anyone at any time for any reason. The question is are you entitled to compensation if your contents are damaged in your apartment. The answer to that question is how the damage occurred, and why. For instance, if your landlord was negligent in causing the damage, you may be entitled under the landlord's insurance policy. However, if the loss occurred for a reason that was beyond their control, you are probably not going to be compensated. The best recommendation is to have a policy of your own. The cost is reasonable and the coverage extends to your contents, additional living expenses and liability.

What to use to cover paneling paint or wallpaper?

Vinyl wall panels, especially in bathrooms, are better off if they are removed as opposed to covered. They can warp, swell, and peel, causing damage to new coverings, and if they are found in a room with a high moisture content, they can trap moisture behind them, causing mold.


How can you separate black and white photographs that have stuck together?

I experimented with a number of mixtures of liquids using water as a basic ingredient. None worked until recently when I made a solution of water, white vinegar & concentrated Dawn detergent. After letting the photograph soak in this solution for several days, there was evidence that the stuck places were breaking free. I let the photo stay in the solution for another week. Today, as I gently pulled on the two photos, they came apart without any damage to either. I then rinsed them in clear water and hung them up to dry.
