Here's a cabinet I did some work on. The 'after' pic shows it before I glued it to the mount, as I was uncertain whether or not I would screw it up. But it turned out good. Notice that the soaking removed most of the ink marks at the top right, bottom left and part of the '1902' at bottom right. It also cleaned other dirt off the photo, but not any of the image whatsoever. The ornate border was added with a tool I picked up at Michael's. I bought a set of tools of various thicknesses that I use to do that sort of thing.
I have only attempted this with copied prints and with less-valuable mounted photos that I thought were hopeless in their unrestored state.
