Filmoplast repair tissue. |

Standing on my bookshelf is a 75 year-old book, in reasonable condition for it's age. It is Crown Octavo in size and has a number of bound-in paper maps which fold out to between 40 and 48 cm in width and between 125% and 150% of the height of the book. Most are getting fragile and some have lost parts of their edges, but fortunately none have been repaired with adhesive tape.
I used this repair tissue to reinforce each of the maps by attaching it to their rear side, whilst they were still in-situ; using a domestic iron and a thin board to support each map during the application process.
I am very pleased with the results: it strengthens the maps and, since it is attached to the back, its presence is discreet.
This was done very recently so I can't comment on stability nor ageing, but I would use the same technique again should the need arise.
