I really hope that suggestion
to use Elmers was a joke. For any list readers who are not sure,
Elmer's is not an archival adhesive!
If you are not personally
trained by a professional textile conservator who is very experienced
in adhesive treatments for textiles, do not do them. There are many
variables that cannot be mastered by reading a few articles, and
adhesive treatments have great potential for damage to the textile.
I would recommend you refer
this job to someone who has experience with this type of treatment.
