Abstract
Many conservators have had problems with objects treated with soluble nylon. The chemistry of modified polyamides and, specifically, soluble nylon is reviewed, as well as the reactions they undergo. The behavior of soluble nylon in conservation is then discussed on the basis of practical experience gained from working with objects treated with soluble nylon.
