Working Properties of Paper and Adhesives
ICA Conservation Center, 2915 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113
June 12, 2010 10AM-3:30PM (including lab tour and lunch break)
ICA paper conservator Jamye Jamison will offer a practicum on the working properties of papers and adhesives. Approximately one hour will focus on paper properties (general types, fillers and treatments to change properties, grain, thickness, and tensile strength) and paper tips and tricks (tools, determining grain direction, folding, tearing, cutting, and drying). The second hour will address the characteristics of both natural and synthetic adhesives as well as adhesive tips and tricks (choosing an adhesive, getting the right mix, choosing a brush, application, drying, and counter mounting). Participants are encouraged to bring a personal project to discuss after the lunch break. Following the discussion, there will be a tour of the ICA facility for interested participants.
