SALTON SEEDLESS CRATE LABEL

CRATE LABEL. ATTACHED TO A WOOD BLOCK WITH AN UNKNOWN ADHESIVE THAT IS NEITHER SOLUBLE IN WATER NOR ALCOHOL.
AFTER ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE FROM WOOD BLOCK WITH ALCOHOL AND THEN WATER TO NO AVAIL, THE ENTIRE SURFACE WAS TREATED WITH A STEAM PROCESS. THE LABEL WAS LIFTED FROM THE WOOD USING METAL TOOLS AND WAS THEN MOUNTED TO OKAWARA PAPER USING A GELATIN PROCESS. DUE TO THE EXPOSURE TO HIGH HEAT AND STEAM, THE IMAGE BECAME VERY CLOUDED AND DISTORTED. A KLUCEL TREATMENT WAS APPLIED AND THE RESIDUE WAS REMOVED WITH A WEBRIL.
