General
Adding a chemical, particularly an adhesive, to a print or piece of artwork
will eventually degrade the image. Petroleum-based adhesives yellow and
discolor the image. Synthetic adhesive may yellow or darken, become
brittle, or accelerate image deterioration. Select an adhesive carefully. Make
sure the adhesive you choose will not harm the art. Apply an adhesive
carefully. Make sure your work area and your hands are clean before you
begin work. Try not to smear adhesives over the work area and clean the
working surface after you complete the job. If there is a question of
permanence, opt for an archival quality adhesive or adhesive tape and stick
only the corner areas.
