Abstract
Powdery matte paint on art objects frequently needs consolidation to strengthen the paint as a film and to help hold the paint to its substrate. Conservation literature on the subject of consolidating matte paint was reviewed and the recommendations evaluated. A treatment using Acryloid B-72 in diethylbenzene was developed.
