When stubborn tape finally becomes not-so-stubborn…feels so good

It is not common to have a visible difference from surface cleaning…so when it is visible, it is extra exciting!

Independent objects conservator Kimberleigh Collins-Peynaud (left) and I spent the last week condition checking and installing more than 350 objects with MuseumsPartner for the exhibition Egypt: The Time of Pharoahs at NHMU. What an amazing opportunity to look at such incredible objects, some of which were 4,500 years old!

Last weekend, I tag teamed with paper conservator Brook Prestowitz to complete this stubborn backing removal, wash, and tension lining of this steel engraving. Our necks and backs definitely bore the brunt of this treatment so treatment was interlaced with yoga flow and stretching 🧘🏻‍♀️

Capillary washing with citrate solutions focusing on discoloured areas 🛀 if you look closely you can see discolouration being released along the edges.

Swipe for before and after treatment images! Large repairs of a watercolour that had extensive splitting. Treatment involved removing old failing repairs, placing new repairs and some isolated in-painting in the repaired area.
