The stronger thinner tissues can be used for making new joints for old books.
Tissues can also be used for warping boards for new bindings.
The heavier finer tissues can be used as endpapers for small books.

All Griffen Mill tissues are easy to handle when wet.The long fibres enable the tissue to hold its shape & allow it to be needled or wet pulled for joining strength. The character of the tissues are similar to European papers as tissue is made in the same way using the same fibres.
Jute Tissue being strong & malleable can also be used to rebuild damaged heads & tails of book spines.
