Can this be safe for books? AKA Pudding! 4 4

[I like pie]

I think I discovered how CGC eliminated/greatly reduced Newton rings.

I just got 55 books back and on the back, about 30 of them have this "footprint" and its mostly the thinner books.

I was just assured by a trusted source at CGC that it's just the inner well. Never noticed it before.

[Artboy99]

interesting.

Will check the modern submissions for that. I have not noticed it on golden aged.

While my example of puddling is more severe, it shows that over time, the book will take on the shape of the inner well.

Golden age too. I was also told by CGC it won't harm books.

Ok but is this indentation or whatever it is something they're deliberately doing? If it is then for what reason? It can obviously have an impact on the back cover over time.

By "thinner" books are you just talking about non giant size?

I was told it would have no effect on the book. Correct. Just the regular thickness books had it.

They better step up their game with the new cases voldy has out now.

I knew it!

 

But in all seriousness I hope it doesn't harm the books...are we still in the evolutionary stages of comic book sealants?

Yes.  I am still waiting for the day, when people notice their comics turning green and growing mushrooms.

Puddling is an old issue, and yes, it affects books. The good thing...if you can call it that...is that it doesn't do permanent damage to the books, and can be fixed. That it *needs* to be fixed is another issue altogether.

I think in the right conditions this issue could do harm, what if the "pudding" or case indentation occurred on a non Colour breaking crease but it was like just on the point of breaking colour and over time that pull as Joey showed us that the book takes on the shape of the indentation causes that crease to break colour now we have this long crease that has broken colour. No pressing can fix that... 

So I think it could become a issue under certain conditions...

[Krismusic]

I rather have a newton ring which is a visual issue than a case indentation/"pudding"

[wilbil]

If the case becomes weaker (does it?) because of the indentation, that would be a problem, I think. Does the indentation disappear over time, or with heat/cold applied? If so, does it revert to an indentation over time?

[wilbil]

I also think the thread title has to be changed to puddling. I taut I saw a puddy tat.
