Methyl Cellulose restoration for detached cover or centerfold repair 1 1

[Mokiguy]

Was wondering if anybody has any experience with this stuff. I collect DC Silver age books and have a few that are fairly nice, but they may have a detached cover or centerfold. Reading about the product, it says that it is used for paper repair. So have any used this stuff? Does it show if used sparingly like in a fine line, and is it completely invisible when dry?

And if you want to comment on the merits of restoring, you're welcome to do so but right or wrong is not what I'm asking about. These are my own low dollar books, I'm beyond retired and so will most likely die with them. I mean it's possible that I might want to sell them someday, but at present that's not what my plan is and so restoring them is purely for my own enjoyment.

So anyone familiar with the product and process?

I think I placed this in the wrong forum and would delete it here if I could. I am posting this in the restoration forum.

I don't know about this stuff, but I know there is some fairly low cost acid free archival tape you can use.

Recommend u try Japan paper or Kitakata(sp?) near spine or centerfold bend instead.
