Caroline Sniter Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hello everybody ! I am restoring a 20-keys anglo and will replace the old paper which glues off ! Fortunately, I print on fabric by hand, this is my work ! I will create the colors and patterns on this linen or cotton, but I ask which glue should I use for this step, please ? All my pigments are natural and non-toxic ! Thank you for your advices...

All my pigments are natural and non-toxic ! Thank you for your advices... Now that you have a box to restore, you may want to get a hold of Dave Elliott's book which I think is called "The Concertina Maintenance Manuel." I have one around here someplace. Also, I think if you search the forums, I remember that the glue issue has been covered before, I just don't remember what was recommended. Congratulations on buying your first box. I hope you enjoy it. Alan
ben Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) You can visit a leather shop in Montreal called "TANDY LEATHER" to buy special glue to use when putting bellows papers on leather bellows. TANDY LEATHER is on 4564 Rue Papineau, Montreal. Talk to Gilles Simoneau. The phone number is 514-526-6298 or contact them at: montreal@tandyleather.com Ben Edited December 11, 2007 by Ben Otto

You may find that you gain other problems.... Dave E
Marien Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 arabic gum is a traditional choice for papers, don't know if it suits your kind of fabric...
