How to Reattach an Illustrated Plate in a Book with a Hinge

This seven minute video demonstrates how to reattach an illustrated plate. Using Sekishu tissue and Nori paste you can quickly fix up a loose plate in a book.

This is an archival treatment and is fully reversible with a bit of moisture.

Clean off the old glue and attach a thin strip of Japanese tissue using archival paste. Then attach the Japanese tissue as a hinge to the book.

Sometimes it is nice to reattach a plate this way instead of tipping it directly back in. It will function better this way.
