Cels Forum

Well, if you're getting that many conflicting viewpoints, there
is obviously no consensus.

However, there is an answer to what to do with pencils somewhere
in the forum archives too, which I tend to trust to some extent (I'm
not sitting around moving pencils that don't want to move myself).

I guess the best would be to go to a gallery, but if it's not worth
the value of the cel, you're stuck not doing anything or trying one
of the many other methods.

Personally, I'd have great great doubts to using a hair dryer, what is 
that supposed to do?  Melt the paint more so it's all runny and you can
remove the pencil?  That would seem to ruin the pencil.  I don't know 
how making it colder would help either.

If you're unsure, the best thing to do would be to leave it alone.  
Only try the 'gentley peel' method (as described earllier on this forum
and in various other places), AT YOUR OWN RISK.
