<p>I've never even heard of it! The best thing I ever learned in art school was Super-77 spray adhesive. It works flawlessly for me on everything including vellum.</p>

<p>Hi Sally,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I´ve been using methylcel for quite some time. It´s wonderful especially when you work with Japanese paper (or something as thin as that). That´s exactly what I´ve been doing.</p>
<p>One interesting thing is that you can mix it as thick as you need or want.</p>

<p>BTW this is also the base for most paper billboard signs and posters which allows a collage artist to take multiple layers of this kind of paper, soak it for a day or two and separate the sheets. I have thousands of bits of billboard and poster paper 'harvested' this way.</p>

<p>I don't know if your text book pages are still attached to the book or loose but, if loose, I would consider dampening the page and the paper you want to attach with - what amounts to wall paper paste - then attaching. It might even be good to soak the paper in a thin bath of the methylcel and then attach. The paste should dry clear and matte. You might also use an old credit card or a brush to smooth out the sheet.</p>

<p>If attaching while in the book, I might still use a spray bottle to dampen the receiving sheet. I normally do not use this material but the nice thing is, it is archival and the sheets - after drying - can be dampened and separated since the paste is water soluble.</p>

<p>I haven't worked with methycel. You should try some sort of paste to limit the excess glue. I'm sorry I can't be specific.</p>
