Subject: Adhesive used in periodicals
Periodicals are showing up with advertisement pages that are tipped in to the issue via a single narrow line of adhesive. Often the placement of the adhesive in the inner margin means the advertisement obscures text. The ad is easily removed and the adhesive strip peels off readily, but does anyone know the long term effects of the residue? It seems a bit oily, and the paper becomes nearly translucent after the adhesive is removed. Does anyone know what kind of adhesive is being used or if we should attempt to treat the pages in any way once it is removed?
