History of this page
This page was created in 2026 following the Adhesive page re-structuring. The information on this page originated in the Adhesive and Adhesive Recipes and Tips pages.
In 2016, the BPG Wiki Coordinators reformatted this chapter by removing the numbered outline format, combining the sections on "Materials and Treatment" and "Treatment Variations", renaming sections, and improving internal links. The "Glossary of Selected Terms" was moved to the BPG Glossary of Terms page. For more information on the reformatting campaign see the History of the BPG Wiki.
Prior to the creation of the BPG Wiki, this page was created in 1989 as Chapter 46: Adhesives of the 1989 edition of the Paper Conservation Catalog (PCC). For more information about the PCC see the History of the BPG Wiki.
