“My new favorite tool. Every paper conservator should have one in their tool kit. Fabulous for control on soft of thin supports, makes adhesive and hinge removal a breeze. Beats Teflon by far.” – Joan Weir, Paper Conservator, Art Gallery Ontario, Toronto, Canada.
I also find myself using this tool more and more. Some other uses:
- Manipulating fragile pages or tissue
- Delaminating boards or covering material
- Keeping lifted areas open during rebacking or board attachment
- Lightly scoring tissue in complex shapes for paper repairs
- Applying controlled pressure during paint consolidation or tissue repairs
- Inserting adhesive into delaminating areas
- Delicate scraping. Better edge retention than teflon and softer than steel on paper
- Tape removal. Can be heated to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and resistant to most solvents
- Holding things during photography. Less reflective than steel and looks cleaner
