The low pressure lining method with the nap bond adhesive system developed by V.R. Mehra of Amsterdam was chosen for lining a lithograph with complicated tear damage. The nap-bond system offered the following advantages: a relatively moisture-free operation; once the edges ofthe tears are aligned, they remain in the same position held by suction. The 127 cm x 88 cm commercial lithograph was first backed with japanese tissue; then it was reinforced with a nylon fabric. The adhesives used were starch-methyl cellulose paste and Plextol (acrylic copolymer)Natrasol (carboxymethyl cellulose) for the reinforcing fabric. Our experience showed that the low pressure table could effectively treat damaged paper where the presence of moisture could cause problems.
