Survey sewing on supports

I am collecting data on current methods used to extend broken or
short book sewing supports.

Whether your intention is to re-sew loose or detached
sections/quires or to create slips for board/cover reattachment,
what do you do with a sewing support that is weakened/degraded,
broken or just too short?

Please indicate methods and materials used in your workshop or
institution. This data is being collected for my masters project at
West Dean College.
