Over time, books or older documents become brittle and may tear because of age, or simply just from mishandling. Of course, no one wants to lose an item of value to damage: therefore, the 0.5 x 12' roll of Transparent Mending Tissue from Lineco will repair tears and rips in the paper.
Pulling a piece of the thin, pressure sensitive tissue and placing it over the tear strengthens and supports the torn area of the paper. By using a bone folder, and rubbing the tissue over the area, the tissue will adhere and further prevent any more tears. The Mending Tissue is archival and acid-free, which also maintains a neutral pH level. The tissue will not yellow over time, and solvents can be used to remove the Mending tape.
