Abstract
Originally based on the principal papers of a conference sponsored by the Intermuseum Conservation Association (USA) in 1957, this book has served as a basic text on solvent-based coatings for easel paintings. Contents: (i) solvents; (ii) solvent action; (iii) resins and the properties of varnishes; (iv) the removal of varnish. 4 appendixes: early studies on the cross-linking of polymers; solubility and removability of aged polymeric films; studies of the effect of light on protective coatings...; polymer emulsions; grades of poly(vinyl acetate) resins with respect to their viscosity in solution; physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of solvents and liquids for conservation... Bibliography. (revised to 1983).
