got a new home NLB for free . pictures later. but the instruction book is stuck together because of water damage. Anyone have ideas of how to unstick them. I have seperated some pages but some are stubborn.

Os there any gaps at all ? maybe try a tooth pock and see if it will slide and loosen the pages .

I would try using a hair blower. Heat works to soften adhesives; might also work to soften the plastic that is sticking the pages together.

If the hair blower doesn't work, I would try steam from a tea kettle spout.

If all the hints don't work try googling the name of the sewing machine plus manual and get a new one!

Holding in over steam, either from a streamer or boiling water. It has worked for me before.

thanks for answering. some pages did have gaps and i pryed them with knife. as soon as i see it not working i stop. Will try steaming next.

are you getting them apart now

great aunt jacqui

some pages are freeing up. pg 1 thru 26 are free but wrinkly i can live with that. taking a break til after supper. thanks

I have suceeded. I eventually put the book and a bowl of water in the micro and let the whole thing steam. Although holding the pages over steam worked, I got impatient. thus the micro. all but the back cover and last page are apart. thank you for the suggestions. love this board
