Just stuck all my (friends) photos in lukewarm water. All came out a treat. Thanks for advice.

I've had great luck with the freezer and also a blow dryer. Two completely different temps. Why? I don't know. I just wanted to save the pics. The freezer was easier and I didn't have to worry about accidently "browining" the photos.
When you do get them apart, spray them with Krylon(R) ACID FREE or similar product to protect them from acid destruction!

How do you separate pictures that were stuck together by something?

I have never tried this but read somewhere steaming will do the trick. Place a pot of water on the stove and when it starts to boil hold the photos over the boiling water. The steam from the boiling water is supposed to unstick photos. Just be careful you don't steam your fingers. (04/06/2007)

I read somewhere you could use a hair dryer. (04/09/2007)

Don't use anything but a product called Undo. It will not at all harm the photo in any way shape or form. It is a must have. You can get it at any craft store, Walmart and I have even seen it at Lowes. Hope this helps. Janette (08/24/2007)

Yvette. Be frugal! Don't use any chemical treatment whatsoever; simply soak your photos in TEPID not hot water and they should float apart after a little while - try not to use force. The next problem you will find is how to get the curl out? The best way I know is to gently iron them, face down on your ironing board, again don't use too much heat just enough to dry them out, then lay them on a clean flat surface under some weight. Good luck. (08/15/2006)

I have 2 photos stuck together. How do I get them unstuck? I've tried freezing them and that didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I did hear about if you put them in the freeze for a while. I have never tried it but it is worth a try. Good Luck (09/08/2005)

Soak them in Un-Do (aka: the scrapper's solution"). It is usually found anywhere scrapbook supplies are found. Get the largest bottle they sell and start by drizzling it over the pics, in between them.
It won't leave a film... try it, you have nothing to lose! (09/09/2005)

I had the same problem then I came across this website. I had nice vacation photos all stuck together, and after ripping the first few I needed to find a solution. This is what I did and it worked.
I put the photos stuck together in the sink and turned the water on hot. After the water was nice and warm I soaked them in the water for about 5 minutes. I went back and just pulled the pictures apart under water. They curl, but don't stick them together again, or in anything else. I put mine in a book to flatten them and then the pages transfered on the pictures. I had to repeat, but let them dry curled or not, and separately. Once they are dry (completely), you can put them under a heavy surface, such as a heavy book, bricks etc. to regain their shape. (02/25/2006)

I just read an idea yesterday in a book published by readers digest, they suggest using dental floss. If i remember correctly, you just slip it in any openings between the pictures as gentle as possible. I found the book by the most recent magazines, the title was something like uses for ordinary products. (03/15/2006)
