Hinge heavy artwork securely with reversible, archival-safe adhesion
Securing valuable artwork requires adhesive that won't compromise the paper over time. Lineco's gummed linen tape activates with water, forming a reversible bond strong enough to hinge heavy works while remaining gentle enough for conservation-grade framing. The pH-neutral PVA adhesive (pH 7.0) won't yellow or migrate into your artwork, and when you need to remove it years later, water reverses the bond cleanly.
The linen base stock itself carries a slight alkaline buffer (pH 8.5 with 3% calcium carbonate) that actively protects against acid deterioration. High tensile strength makes this tape unexpectedly versatile, it seals frame backs securely and reinforces the edges of glass plate negatives without the brittleness of pressure-sensitive tapes. Museums and archival framers choose this tape specifically because reversibility matters. You're not permanently altering the artwork; you're creating a secure mount that future conservators can undo without damage. Works on paper, whether delicate etchings or heavy watercolor sheets, deserve this level of protection.
