PVA vs. wheat paste, I was a skeptic until last month's repair job
I always thought wheat paste was just for fussy conservators, but after mending a 40 year old atlas for a client in Portland that PVA kept cracking on, I gave it a real shot. The paste held the hinge flex smoothly and dried reversible, which sold me completely. Anyone else use wheat paste for repairs over PVA, or am I the last convert?
