Subject: Adhering polysester film to paper
What do people use to stick mylar or melinex as it is known here in Europe to paper substrates? I am regularly asked what adhesive should be used to adhere polyester sleeves or pockets to support guards in bindings. The common practise is to oversew onto the guard but this may not be practical. Another alternative is to apply the 3M #415 tape but this adds too much bulk with binding. I am familiar with a National Adhesive product called WS3943. This is a polyvinyl acetate adhesive that will stick polyester to paper but it is not archival. The pH is around 4 and the product is not reversible. Does anyone know of an archivally suitable wet adhesive that could be used or have other suggestions.
