Dear Konstantine



A very good colleague (textile conservator) and friend Morwena Stephens 
alerted me, some years ago, on a workshop on “Contact/pressure mounting” 
which was run by the UKIC and the British Museum(?).  If I remember 
correctly, Morwena told me that the workshop was initially run in the USA. 
I am sure this workshop has produced quite a lot of very useful and relevant 
info on the subject, but I am afraid this is all I know about it.  However, 
I am attaching a short reading list which you might find helpful.  Moreover, 
product information sheets from manufacturing companies can provide very 
useful data, which worth looking at.



Good luck and best regards from home!
