Who Should Use Lineco Super Cloth & Who Should Consider Alternatives

This fabric is ideal for bookbinders, archivists, librarians, and hobbyists undertaking repairs or creating new bindings. It's perfect for restoring antique books, reinforcing journals, or crafting custom sketchbooks. If you require a material that offers both strength and flexibility with excellent adhesive compatibility, Lineco is your choice. However, if you are working on extremely delicate, antique paper that requires a pH-neutral adhesive and a material guaranteed to be free of any potential acidity over decades, consider consulting a professional conservator for specialized archival tissues.
