Video Title

Conserving a Chinese Kite: Removing Craft Paper Tape

Description

Museum conservator Amanda Malkin demonstrates how she removed brown craft paper tapes from one of the Museum's traditional Chinese kites. The tape was added at some point in the Kite's history likely to mend tears. Malkin uses controlled moisture to soften the adhesive and then carefully removes it using tweezers and a microspatula.
