Re: I have undertaken the greatest challenge

If these mags were from that admirable period in OG's history when it was printed on newsprint, there would be no difference. Slick pages [as my mother called them, referring to the Sears catalog in the outhouse] are a different animal, if only because the ink is formulated differently and the paper is sized. How fast it rots and what residues it leaves are likely different from newsprint.

Shred them and use them as mulch.
