My journal got soaked on a camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains

I left my bullet journal on a picnic table overnight, and a surprise rainstorm rolled in around 3 AM. When I found it in the morning, the pages were stuck together and the ink had bled everywhere. I carefully separated the pages with a plastic spatula and let it dry in the sun for two days. Has anyone else salvaged a waterlogged journal, and what method worked best for you?

Just toss it and start fresh.

Yeah but that's a waste. Sometimes you can fix the broken part for cheap. I've saved so much stuff just by taking a closer look first. Tossing it should be the last move, not the first.

Ugh, my dad fixed our dryer with a paperclip.
