Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and concise.

I think she is saying from 3:35: (Paraphrasing) Japanese papers made from closer fibers are the best for conservation procedures together with wheat-starch based, rice-starch based, or Methyl Cellulose (e.g. binders). . .repairing paper using Neschen filmoplast® also known as heat set tissue. [ e.g. commercial paper repair products.]

It may also be "Kozo" fibers, used to make a tissue paper often used in paper conservation.

@@andrewkemp1043 I believe you are correct. Washi Kozo paper (sic) and tape (made from Japanese Mulberry bark) are frequently used in the conservation/restoration of artwork, books and documents.

I have a half of the page missing. There was no text on missing half. Any way to fix the page?

[@GBooth]

A skilled book or document restoration specialist can source the materials to repair your page. A paper of similar type and color to the original will be trimmed to fit using a sharp needle or awl and carefully attached to the original document using a reversible adhesive such as wheat starch paste or methyl cellulose paste. Once dry it can be trimmed to conform to the original dimensions of the page. A good depiction of the process can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/lwTNVsi_HBg/v-deo.html
