Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Conservation | | German term or phrase: Rand | This is from a text about use of consolidants on matt paintings. The word crops up all over the place (Feuchtigkeitsrand, Wasserrand, usw.). Or as here, for example:
"Matte Malerei kann mit JunFunori ((a consolidant)) gefestigt werden, ohne dass es dabei zu optischen Veränderungen wie die Bildung von **Rändern**, ein Verdunkeln der Malschicht oder zu ungewolltem Glanz kommt."
I have been using stain (damp stain, water stain) but maybe "tide line" or sth like that is closer. |

| | English translation:tideline | Explanation:
When consolidating powdery, cracking, or flaking paint, care must be taken to avoid any changes in the appearance of the media. These include discoloration and formation of a white haze or tidelines. The chemical and physical tolerance between the consolidant, support, and media must also be considered. The consolidant, JunFunori®, an adhesive produced by the chemical refinement of natural red algae (Gloiopeltis furcata) used in Japan to make Funori, has shown good results. It is especially successful when used in conjunction with sturgeon glue.

Tideline: The dark line created by drying liquid, at the farthest point of liquid migration in the paper or board. The line itself is dirt transported by the liquid; the dirt embeds itself deeply into the paper fibres becoming tenacious and difficult to remove.

Asker: I THINK you're right. However, the first reference you provide is (presumably) a text in translation, written by two German-speaking authors. Strange that all the dictionaries I've consulted define 'tideline' only as being to do with tides / the sea. But, I still think you're right! So many thanks.
