Modification of the leaf casting technique for use on the vacuum suction table is described. A plastic container, placed above an area of missing paper, holds water and pulp until suction is applied from below. Fibers, pulled evenly into proper position, bond with the edge of the original sheet. Prints or drawings that exceed the size of the suction table may still be treated. Through localized wetting or the use of alcohol as the casting liquid, certain problems associated with water soluble media and standard casting procedure can be over come. (See also AATA 20-1592).
