We used to use this stuff called Carbona - I think it was somehow
related to drycleaning fluid. Not good for you, but it never harmed a
sheet, either. Mmmm, smelled great, too. I am not sure that it is still
being made.

    This is what my preservation department told me...

    "   We're working on a batch of yours right now--aerial views of
    Monterey
    Co. that had been "bound" using filament or some other really sticky
    tape.
    They had stuck together.

       The way we're dealing with the sticky residue is by using a fume hood
    and toluene (must be used in a proper fume hood--nasty stuff).  We're
    using cotton swaps saturated with toluene and a curved, fairly dull
    scalpel blade and lightly scraping off the majority after it softens
    with
    the solvent.  Then, we take swabs with tolune and roll the area over
    and
    over again to get more off.  We use clean swabs to determine if all the
    residue is gone.  If not, repeat.  When done, we take a lightly
    moistened
    (water) swab and go over the area.   Testing must be done first to
    determine if the photos are resistent to these materials (water and
    solvents).  It takes alot of time for each one.

       The other way to deal with this is to encapsulate them.  It is
    preferable to remove the adhesive first.
