[Jewelry making - Article 00420] - [Orchid] Removing glue from Scrimshaw

[Alexis Romeo]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

Hi All,

    I acquired a piece of scrimshaw that I was told is mammoth ivory. It
    has a pin glued on the back that I want to remove. I'm wondering if
    the Attack I use to remove pearls will work on the scrimshaw piece,
    or if there is a better option. 

    Can anyone tell me if the attack will damage the piece if it is in
    fact mammoth ivory (or if it's actually some kind of plastic...) and
    if the attack will damage the ink or whatever the colorant is in the
    design" 

Thanks!
Alexis
