u201c good u201d when the ply adhesive was uniformly applied and considered to be usable for spray application and u201c poor u201d when the paper had nonuniformly applied portions due to for example dripping and was considered to cause problems in the operation of a spray applicator as shown in table 1 the results were desirable for both bondability and operability in the examples of the present invention on the other hand the results were not sufficient in at least one of bondability and operability in comparative examples propylene glycol was mixed into a 1 5 mass aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose having a viscosity in a 1 mass aqueous solution of 60 mpa u00b7 s in the amounts shown in table 2 below the adhesive was sprayed over a surface of base paper having a basis weight of 14 5 g m 2 in such an amount that the amount of softening agent per bonded surface was as shown in table 2 a two ply sanitary tissue paper was obtained using the same procedure used to make samples for the bondability test the sanitary tissue paper was used as a sample in a sensory test in which 64 testers were asked to judge softness and moisture by touching the sample with hand the test was conducted to measure each sample as being u201c soft to hard u201d and u201c moist to dry u201d in a bipolar scale of 1 to 7 and the mean value was calculated for evaluation each sample was given a score of 1 to 7 from.
