Subject: Adhesive on mounted interior textiles
Is there anyone who has experience with using adhesives on interior textiles, more precisely wall hangings? I am working on a set of 18th century printed cottons, mounted on frames. These wall hangings are still fully attached to the frame and some seams have torn open. The aim would be to fixate these loose parts, but due to the fragile state sewing is not possible. I'm looking into using adhesive, but have not found any similar cases to compare. The wall hangings will be placed in a room that will be used as an office, thus will be heated. The climate is also not very stable. I have done some tests with a Lascaux 498 HV film, which works very well and is easy to position and to reactivate. However, the effect of the unstable climate still concerns me. Any thoughts or similar cases would be very welcome.
