Good afternoon folks.
hope you are all well. I'm searching for some heat activated Tape for hingeing heavier prints in mounts. this also has to be of conservation quality.....
we have used it before, but i can't seem to find anything now... does anyone have any idea where i could look ?

Re: heat activated T hinges
A properly prepared hand torn paper and wheat paste hinge (s) can easily hold heavy paper art... the heavier the art, the more hinges and or making double thick hinges.
Part of the trade show display for Frametek was a 5# bag (2.2kg) of flour on a back wall held in place with 2 paper hinges.

Re: heat activated T hinges
I can't see how anything like this could be seen as "conservation quality", since a heat activated tape would not be easily reversible, (if reversible at all) and therefore fails an important principle of coservation from the outset.raph.basan wrote:I'm searching for some heat activated Tape for hingeing heavier prints in mounts.
