If you have old magnetic photo albums, remove your photos, the acid in the glue can cause pictures to deteriorate.  How do you pry them off the sticky pages in one piece?

Here's two ways to free your snapshots safely . .

Slip unwaxed dental floss under an edge of the photo, then slowly slide it back and forth all the way down through the glue.

Use a microspatula to carefully pry up the photo.  This tiny metal blade is available at art supply stores or through http://www.gaylord.com.
