This three-day workshop will review historical mounting methods and then address issues such as:
- the chemical and physical factors affecting paper in enclosures/assemblies and the technical solutions to manage them.
- the use of adhesives such as natural and synthetic aqueous adhesives as well as acrylic copolymers.
- papers used for hinging and different methods of applying adhesives, including the use of micro dots.
- mounting without adhesive, if hinges cannot be used.
