Abstract
Reversibility is discussed starting with the principle of reversible processes in thermodynamics, and proceeding to reversibility of treatments for wood artifacts. Special reference is made to consolidation treatments for deteriorated wood with soluble resins. Preliminary experiments showed that Acryloid B-72 can largely be removed from wood after impregnation.
