A collection of wax medical study models from the Museum of Health Care for Eastern Ontario in Kingston was received at Queens' Art Conservation Program for treatment. These are scale models of female figures depicting various conditions ranging from pregnancy and obesity to Turner's syndrome and congenital syphilis. The models had suffered water damage, mould growth and breakage from poor storage; necessitating treatment that included the materials' identification, cleaning, creative techniques for adhering broken parts and infills, and inpainting. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the waz composition and coating. Known samples of pure-beeswax, paraffin wax and a 50/50 mixture of the two were analyzed but none of the resulting spectra matched that of the sample. Further investigation confirmed that the wax used for the models was beeswax and a hydrated magnesium silicate filler or talc. Other diagnostic techniques used to identify the paint layer and coating included X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy spectrometry, fluorescent light examination, solubility testing and polarized light microscopy. The results suggest a coating of shellac or aged linseed oil, however further analysis needs to be performed. Due to the lack of information on adhesives used for wax repair, tests were undertaken and Jade 403, a PVA emulsion which is soluble in water, was eventually chosen.
