Paper Mending | Episode 1 | Straight tear: youtube.com/watch?v=QNnqQ42Mvlc
Don't use:
- Tape (sellotape), scotch tape, Etc.
- Filmoplast P Tape, it is archival but not recommended for rare objects due to its reversibility.
- Heatset tissue (shiny and uses heat)
However, it is reversible with isopropyl alcohol, acid-free, and buffered with magnesium carbonate. As well it has long fibers, and it is transparent.
In conclusion, all types of commercial self-adhesive tapes should be avoided in historic document conservation and restoration.
