<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 265663, member: 56&quot;]I want to repair an old print - tears in the paper.&nbsp; The source I read calls for wheat starch glue (which I believe I can make), and Japanese kozo tissue (for which I have found a local supplier).</p><p><br /></p><p>The non woven polyester is part of the finishing.&nbsp; You apply the patch, cover it with the polyester, cover that with blotting paper (which I have), then apply a weight.&nbsp; The purpose is to eliminate cupping in a repair that uses water-based adhesive. The blotting paper absorbs moisture through the polyester.&nbsp; The polyester prevents the blotting paper from sticking to the repair and will not stick to the repair itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want the adhesive to be water based because you want the repair to be reversible (at least I do).</p><p><br /></p><p>Really tiny amounts of any of this stuff is a lifetime supply, but you have to expect that these materials will be available in minimum amounts that are still much more than actually needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
