Posted - Aug 11 2010 : 1:22:11 PM I have a rather old canning book with slick pages. One of my girls set a melon on it and allowed it to spoil. I wasn't even aware they had picked a melon! Now my book is stuck together and it is very important. My dad asked to borrow it and that is how I found out it was messed up. Now I need to fix it.
Any ideas?
I am actually thinking of trying to wet it with water to break up the sugar sticky from the melon.
Good idea or bad?
