Follow along as Charlie demonstrates how to perform simple repairs to an inexpensive map. For an expensive map, it is best to contact a company that specializes in serious map repairs and restorations.
Repair 1: Closed Tear
Nothing is missing but the map is torn and there are some flappy pieces.
Using a burnishing tool, we flatten some of the wrinkles as best we can.
Using archival tape (link below) we tape the flap on the back of the map, again using the burnishing tool to smooth out the tape and get any air bubbles out.
Then, we use a long piece of tape to strengthen the whole area of small tears just for good measure. This will also help to keep future tears from happening.
Repair 2: Chip Tear
A piece of the map is missing. We need to come up with something to fill the hole. We find a piece of paper from our scraps that's close in age and texture to our torn inexpensive map. Again, using the archival tape, we tape our scrap on the back. Then we flip the map over and using strong ruler or a straight-edge of some sort and a sharp knife, we trim the excess scrap paper.
