In this day and age many people are preserving their memories on film. Many people today are using the camera to capture loving memories of their family and friends. These pictures can last a lifetime, if they're treated with the proper care.

For many yeas most people believed that the magnetic photo album would safeguard their photos from damage. Most magnetic photo albums use's non-toxic sticky glue, that keeps the picture from moving inside the photo album. It's also that same glue that virtually traps your treasured memories inside the photo album. This glue is also very acidic which is what causes the pictures to become difficult to remove as the years pass by. This has been an ongoing problem for many people who simply want to change out their photo album, or simply update their pictures by using digital methods.

How can you safely remove a priceless picture from a sticky magnetic album without damaging the picture? There are many different methods that you can use, but here are a few ideas that can get you started in safely removing your pictures from a very sticky situation.

There's a product called UN-DU adhesive remover. You can use either the UN-DU sticker, tape and label remover, or you can use the Scrapper's solution. There's also the UN-DU framing adhesive remover. The UN-DU product comes in many different sizes, and can be used to safely remove anything that uses adhesive tape, including photo albums.

The way this product works is that you drop a small drop of the UN-DU solution on the back of the photo, and spread it out evenly. Then you slowly peel the picture away from the photo album. The solution should not cause any damage to the pictures, and should be easy to use. The solution also causes no further damage to the photo album that the UN-DU product was used on. Unfortunately this product may be a little difficult to find, but there are still a few places that sells this item. You can find these products at some of these terrific websites such as, www.un-du.net, www.amazon.com, and www.scrapbook.com.

Another way you can safely remove your pictures from an old photo album, is to use a string of waxed dental floss. This is perhaps an older method of removing pictures, but it's rather effective. All you have to do is slowly slip a piece of dental floss in between the picture and photo album page. Then you slowly slide the floss in a saw like motion, which is basically a back and forth motion until the picture is freed. It's an unorthodox method,
