I think it is kind of common based on previous postings. It is certainly what we experienced at my museum. It is a great product and very versatile but dimming and color shifting can be a problem...
This is a real problem. I feel lucky that I happen to be stocked up! I can't remember if I have seen your question there or not but due to the odd thrown together structure PACCIN has as an online...

I am not familiar with the adhesive in this product, and I am not clear about the specifics of the application you have in mind, but don't forget if used for a deck that is enclosed with a vitrine...
Based on interactions with textile conservators distributing the weight over the entire width of the textile via sewn velcro on a cleat is still the most advantageous approach and is relatively...
