If you have important written information which you do not want to be destroyed in a fire, it might be prudent to create your own fireproof paper. It's a straightforward process.
Steps
-
Create a mixture of alum and water. This mixture will help seal the paper and make it fireproof. (mixture is half water, half alum appx)
-
Pick up the piece of paper that you want fireproofed.
-
Dip the paper in the mixture.
-
Remove paper from mixture.
-
Allow the alum-water to dry.
-
Repeat steps 2-4 if the paper is not fully saturated with alum-water.
-
Add your important information to the fireproof paper. Store in a fireproof safe for added protection; it always pays to take care of important information using several methods rather than relying on simply one.
Tips
- Make sure that the entire paper is saturated with the alum-water.
- Try doing a test run on some unimportant paper, this way any mistakes in the mixture can be seen
- The quality, color, and texture will not be affected by this process.
Warnings
- If you're going to test this, be careful handling the fire!
