One of my multi-layer Hameln cels has Flute on 
the top layer. The first thing I do when I get a 
cel is assess it's current condition, including 
checking what layers are stuck. Well I started to 
lift the Flute layer from the bottom and it 
wasn't stuck at all. What I didn't realize was 
that the *RED* of her hair *WAS* stuck. . . When 
it looked like the layer wasn't stuck at all, I 
lifted the second half of it more quickly and. . .

(*cringe*)

There were quite a few paint chips missing after 
that. It's a cel I never intend to sell (although 
I have gotten a couple outlandish offers on it), 
so I retouched the paint myself. You'd have to 
know exactly what to look for to spot my fixes 
from the front, so I prefer to keep the cel 
anonymous, but I would tell any new owner if I 
ever did sell it. (Of course!)

As a follow up. . . Incredibly, another cel from 
that Flute layer sequence came up for sale on the 
Anime Chaos site. I bought it and it's in perfect 
shape. My original intent was to use it to 
replace the damaged layer of the multilayer cel, 
but the damaged layer is the end cel. After little
debate, I just stored the undamaged Flute layer 
in another page. Call me indecisive. ^_^;
