Product Information
Full details
Lineco Document Mending Tissue is designed for archivists, collectors, and hobbyists who need to repair delicate paper documents without compromising their structural integrity or appearance. Its primary benefit is the combination of high transparency and archival-grade, pressure-sensitive adhesive that ensures long-term preservation. A key caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly effective for paper tears, it is a specialized tool requiring careful application to achieve a truly invisible mend.

FAQs
Is this tape acidic?
No, Lineco Document Mending Tissue is acid-free and has a neutral pH.
Can I remove this tissue later?
Yes, it is designed to be removable using specific conservation-grade solvents.
Do I need water to activate the adhesive?
No, this is a pressure-sensitive tape that adheres upon application and burnishing.
Will this tape yellow over time?
The material is non-yellowing, making it ideal for archival preservation.
What is the best tool to use for burnishing?
A bone folder is the standard tool used to ensure a flat, strong bond between the tissue and the paper.
Troubleshooting
The tissue is visible after application
Increase the pressure applied with your bone folder to ensure the tissue is fully bonded with the paper fibers, which enhances transparency.
The repair is lifting at the edges
Ensure the application surface was clean and dry before applying, and apply firmer pressure during the burnishing process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely transparent for near-invisible repairs
- Acid-free and archival safe
- Easy to use with no moisture activation required
- Removable with solvents for professional flexibility
Cons
- Requires a steady hand for precise placement
- Not intended for heavy-duty structural support

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized equipment is needed to set up this mending tissue, though a bone folder is highly recommended for achieving the best finish. The product is compatible with most standard weight papers and archival documents. For care, store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive layer. If the tissue appears to be lifting, ensure the application surface was free of oils or debris, as contaminants can reduce the effectiveness of the pressure-sensitive bond.
