Have you ever accidentally shredded an important document? You no longer have to give up on retrieving you lost document. Using this manly skill, you should be able to restore it.
- Ascertain the identifying characteristics of the shredded document. Try to remember unusual characteristics like logos, paper weight, unusual fonts, and images that were on the paper you are restoring.
- Sort the shreds. Using the characteristics that you determined in the last step, separate the shreds that were in your document from the other shreds in your shredder. Make a pile of each.
- Begin restoring. Tape matching shreds together with clear tape. As soon as you find a match tape it together. This part is basically like making a puzzle.
- Photo copy the restored document. Once you have made a photocopy of the restored document, your task is completed.
This is a good exercise in persistence. During the one to two hours that you will be restoring your document, you will most likely feel like giving up. Instead, think of how close you are to the end and how great it will feel to have completed the restoration.
