[BKARTS] hingeing together

["quilter@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <quilter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was recently told by someone in the Cornell University Book
Conservation Department to never use the self sticking products -
that they will deteriorate and discolor over time.  Instead they
recommended making your own hinges from paper and paste.  In this
case, I would suggest Tyvek for the paper part, or a Japanese paper.
