  • 1.  Double-Sided Sticky Tape

    Posted 08-03-2022 11:12
    Greetings!  Does anyone have suggestions for removing posters that are adhered with double-sided tape to cardboard backing? We have approximately 150 that need to be removed from their encasings.

    So appreciated,

    Hello Lydia,
    Removing double sided tape often requires solvents. There are many numerous tapes and they age differently. Even if the posters are not of great value, a paper conservator should be consulted. Please check the AIC Find a Conservator link for a list of paper conservators in and near Minneapolis.
