This guide is for conservators, framers, and artists working with delicate or translucent media. The Lineco Hinging Tissue Tape offers a secure yet removable method for hinging lightweight artworks without minimizing show-through, thanks to its fine, long-fibered translucent paper and archival acrylic adhesive. A key caveat is that its permanent adhesive, while removable with mineral spirits, requires careful handling to avoid damaging the artwork.

It uses an archival acrylic adhesive that is formulated to be non-yellowing and stable over time, preventing degradation and damage to the artwork.
The adhesive is removable with common mineral spirits. Apply a small amount to the edge of the tape with a brush or swab and gently lift the tape away.
No, this tape is designed for lightweight and delicate media. For heavier items, a stronger mounting method would be required.
It is generally suitable for older, stable photographic prints that are on thin paper bases. Always test on a similar material or an inconspicuous area first, especially with modern digital prints which may have different surface chemistries.
Standard paper tapes often use less stable adhesives that can yellow or become brittle, and they are typically opaque, obscuring the artwork. This hinging tissue is translucent and uses a removable, archival adhesive.
The roll measures 25 mm (approximately 1 inch) in width and 10.66 meters (approximately 35 feet) in length.
No, this adhesive is pressure-sensitive and removable with solvents, not heat.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or previous adhesive. Apply firm, even pressure during application.
Ensure the translucent paper side is facing outwards and the adhesive side is applied correctly to the artwork's edge. Use only the necessary width of tape.
Gently apply mineral spirits to a cotton swab or brush and dab it along the edge of the tape. Allow a moment for the adhesive to soften before carefully peeling the tape away.
Reapply mineral spirits to the residue and gently lift it with a conservation-grade squeegee or tweezers. Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the artwork.
