| Nov 10, 2022 at 18:15 | comment | added | curiositasisasinbutstillcuriou | I'm confident there's no water damage here. I'm assuming I can proceed by myself/with a contractor to help fix the cosmetics. The issue I'm having is that I can't find good pictures online of how old tape issues/frame shifts manifest other than straightness. | |
| Nov 10, 2022 at 18:12 | comment | added | P2000 | Are you trying to determine whether there is water damage, vs. shifting of the frame etc..., or are you trying to determine whether you can fix it yourself? What's your course of action? Because that will determine how to proceed (call a pro anyway, take other pictures, cut a piece out etc...) | |
