Please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements. We operate from our workshop at our private residence, in Roseville, Sydney. It is necessary, therefore, to make an appointment with us prior to your visit.
In addition to our bookbinding and restoration activities, we have had manufactured for us, to our own specifications, an archival, conservation - standard, synthetic adhesive. This is used in all our Workshop work where a synthetic adhesive is required. As requested by others, we have made this adhesive available to everyone. Please find more information about Evasol Adhesive here.
