i agree with your disagreement , ok to use is also light old cigarette paper used to roll ones own cigarettes ... Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 16:38:20 +0200 From: texasmu...@web.de Subject: Re: [MOPO] Some basic items that EVERY collector should consider owning To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU
I disagree. Despite what the distributor says, Filmoplast Tape is NOT acid free, and it is NOT safe to use on old paper stock. Depending on the paper stock, if Filmoplast Tape is applied for a long time, there is a chance of discoloration and bleeding. If you really want to repair your (valuable) posters yourself, I would much rather recommend a gummed, japanese hinging paper, usually a rice or mulberry paper. The best quality has pre-torn edges, Hayaku brand is an excellent product: http://www.mmdistributors.com/Hayaku-Japanese-Hinging-Paper-Tape-p/1726.htm Also, if using it, be sure to moisten it as lightly as possible.
