>Dear Damelio, in order to get the Japanese silk kerchiefs very tight you have 
to double them with strong Japanese paper glued with rice starch paste and 
special Japanese bruhes on the back of the silk. For this a special prodecure 
used by Chinese and Japanese conservators to mount images and calligraphies on 
paper and silk on scrolls has to be applied. I myself apply this method and 
described it in a German magazine for picture framing 4 years ago. The article 
contains a step by step instruction supported by 10 illustrations. The total 
article comprises 8 printed pages in the magazin. I intend to have this article 
translated into English and printed in THE PICTURE BUSINESS. THE BUSINESS 
MAGAZINE FOR ART AND FRAMING, London.
