Traditional adhesives and adhesion methods often fail to come up to the requirements posed by glueing in restorative work. The College of Visual Art developed the Salie 83 synthetic heat-seal glue which is a material with the properties of a modern adhesive suitable by use for restorers and conservators. Salie 83 is relatively easy to manufacture and use, hardly penetrates and is creep-resistant. Glueings are reversible. It can be used in the restoration of paintings, and wood, textile, paper, and metal objects.
