Hi Alfredo,
Starch backing would be a great choice if you poster only need cleaning
and you wish to leave the linen out.
As you can see you have already gotten some good suggestions what to use
Like oil of Uley and so on. So I'd like to add to that, make sure that
you get an archival cooked paste from scratch either Rice or Wheat
starch and not Shure stick 800 wall paper glue, It's sold by the gallon,
cheap, quick and easy to work with, but it tack poorly and it molds
over. It contains fungicide and other chemicals that has not been test
properly on vintage paper, so long term effects are not know. I did and
open air study, I wanted to know what all the back door fuzz was all
about. I cooked my usual paste, and made a batch of Archival Methyl
cellulose by Lineco and I bought a small bucket of Shure stick. I let
them sit in 3 independent jars for two day, no lid!! after that I
introduced a contaminate brush to each paste. after two day there were
mold growing in the Shure stick wall paper glue. I don't think the
fungicide and chemicals is there to protect your wall paper, more so to
protect the paste its self. and it's not very impressive!!
Best Regards,
Dario.

Would like to know what the best treatment for a very
wrinkled one-sheet is without going all the way to
linen backing. Would an acid bath do it? Or is there a
treatment that works the equivalent of a pressing?
Thanks all, and a merry Holiday to all too!
