<p>Allison any idea how these hold up over time ? Regular glue sticks appear to lose their adhesion over the years. I'm only talking about 2-5 years, but still for me it's a concern.</p>

<p>I made the leap for a larger 10oz Yasutomo Nori, great to work with, but longevity is still a concern.</p>

<p>I've just used Yasutomo Nori for the first time and despite having reservations about the price, I liked working with it. I bought a small 1.84 oz (55 g) container to try it out and I'm now a fan, obviously have no idea about longevity. </p>

<p>Archival is better. Use clear acrylic gell medium for both the glue and finish to protect it afterwards. It is waterproof once it is dry. As a professional artist it is all I use or need for collage.</p>

<p>Spray mount is horrible, it smells too strong.</p>
<p>I prefer:</p>
<p>Glue sticks</p>
<p>YES! paste stickflat glue bookbinding adhesive</p>
<p>Rubber cement which is also smelly but not a spray at least.</p>

<p>I came across this recently, which relates to a request regarding: Adhesive for butterfly wings in Nature Print Album - some of it may apply to collage work</p>
<p>You might be considering the use of an adhesive like what was used in the<br></br>original installation. It seems to have survived for 100 years or so. If so,<br></br>here is a brief discussion about the adhesives available in Japan in the<br></br>early part of the 20th C. </p>

<p>You might be considering the use of an adhesive like what was used in the<br/>original installation. It seems to have survived for 100 years or so. If so,<br/>here is a brief discussion about the adhesives available in Japan in the<br/>early part of the 20th C. </p>
<p>Pretty much every household in Japan right up to the post war period used to<br/>keep two kinds of plant based adhesive (mucilage) around for various<br/>household repair tasks. For heavy lifting a strong adhesive called nori was<br/>cooked up from wheat starch into a glue like the wallpaper paste we are<br/>familiar with in the west. It would be used for applying and repairing the<br/>paper on shoji screens and probably for pasting photos in the family album.<br/><br/>Another less well known but long used Japanese mucilage is called funori.<br/>Funori is the term for both starch bearing seaweeds that grow only in the<br/>sea of Japan, and for the starchy size/adhesive extracted from it. Funori<br/>was and still is used with washi (Japanese paper) in a poultice fashion for<br/>dry cleaning silk fabric, as a size for blocking kimonos before assembly,<br/>and as a less strong adhesive for many delicate tasks. My guess is that 13<br/>mm butterfly wings fall into the delicate category.<br/><br/>Dried seaweed of the type that produces the adhesive called funori can be<br/>purchased from conservation supply houses like Talas. Simply cook it up and<br/>strain out the plant fibre and lumps to make a yellowish starchy adhesive<br/>like the one used a hundred years ago for your wings. Another option we have<br/>developed from the same seaweed is a more refined and crystal clear version<br/>of this same adhesive called TRI-Funori. Filtration technology has improved<br/>over the past hundred years and by simple filtration with no additives or<br/>bleaches, we are able to remove all the color from the extract and retain<br/>the polysaccharide starch that makes it adhesive. The freeze dried result of<br/>this is a new and useful iteration of the starch. TRI-Funori is also<br/>available from Talas or on line at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tri-funori.com/" target="_blank">www.TRI-Funori.com</a>.</p>
