What is Straight tear?
It is When the paper fibers split apart quite evenly, and mostly towards the paper grain direction.
What is Reemay?
- Reemay is a non-woven polyester fabric.
- It used as a support media for documents to be repaired, interleaving, or drying material.
more info about Reemay: www.talasonlin...
What is Japanese tissue?
A strong thin paper made from vegetable fibers. May be made from one of three plants: Kozo plant, Mitsumata, and Gampi tree.
what is Organza:
A thin, plain weave, sheer fabric traditionally made from silk. Many modern organzas are woven with synthetic filament fibres such as polyester or nylon.
How to use the ready-made self-adhesive Tissue paper?
1 - Peel a strip of required tissue. This tear will be mend using 3.5 gsm Tissue
2 - Apply the glued part (the shiny surface) Over the tear.
3 - Apply some moisture over the Reemay (distilled water).
in this video tutorial, I am using here (CMC 6%) Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose as an adhesive.
Don't use:
- Tape (sellotape), scotch tape, Etc.
- Filmoplast P Tape, it is archival but not recommended for rare objects due to its reversibility.
- Heatset tissue (shiny and uses heat)
However, it is reversible with isopropyl alcohol, acid-free, and buffered with magnesium carbonate. As well it has long fibers, and it is transparent.
In conclusion, all types of commercial self-adhesive tapes should be avoided in historic document conservation and restoration.

That's amazing.
Thank you
I've always wondered how it can be done so "invisibly". Thank you. I will try this once I have assembled the suppies
it's always great to see the hands of such a craftsman at work. so nice that someone of your caliber shares his professional knowledge; I learn something from it every time. compliments on the quality of the films. I look forward to new videos from Alexandria.
Congratulations Sherif Afifi.Details of material make this vidio more informative.Looking forward for more such treatments.
Your interesting video made me look up Reemay. Delighted to find it is reusable/washable. This from REL's website: Reemay can be used in paper infill as a drying support media, for lining, interleaving and backing. It can be used over and over again withstanding being laundered. It is more fibrous than Hollytex, which is reflected in the price, because Hollytex is cullendered for longer in manufacture.
This is an excellent video. I am looking forward to many more. Thank you
Thanks much! But wow... now I am learning about yet another cellulose? I now have methylcellulose (probably "MC") and Klucel G which is hydroxypropycellulose... now I'm hearing, here: sodium carboxymethylcellulose ? Goodness. I do love the thought of something that will keep longer than prepared wheat paste with possibly less food value for some bugs (?).
Yes sure wheat starch is an option too
Excellent information and well done - thank you! I really appreciated the details and 'why' to use the different approaches.
Thank you Sherif! I learned the first technique from my mentor, I feel doubly confident seeing it used by a conservator as well! I look forward to to trying the second and comparing :) Congratulations on the new series, I look forward to the rest!!
Thank you, most helpful!

Thanks for your comment. Actually I am not sure if the bone folders are sold in Egypt or not. But I have been told that some one in Cairo make such folders using camel's bonds but it smells like an animal. However, you can buy it online.
