For those who do not receive the ERO's e-bulletin I thought the following extract from it might be of interest, I'd never heard of the Leafcaster process so I found it very interesting.

"One of the materials that our Conservators work with most frequently at the ERO is paper. Damaged paper can be repaired by hand, but when there is a large batch to process our Conservators will often use a machine called a leafcaster, which fills holes and tears in paper with fresh paper pulp. Watch our short video to join one of our Conservators in the Conservation Studio to see how it's done..."

PS the words "short video" in the extract should when clicked on link to the video, it didn't copy and paste over so I've put the link below.

You might excperience pauses in the video, just move the cursor to the bottom of the screen and advance the video a little and it will carry on OK.
