Procedures

TAPE WAS REMOVED MECHANICALLY USING HOT SPATULA AND MICRO-SKIVING KNIFE, OBJECT WAS MARINATED FACE-DOWN IN COLD WATER BETWEEN MYLAR SHEETS FOR 30 MINUTES, OLD DEFECTIVE SUBSTRATE WAS REMOVED MANUALLY BY CAREFUL PEELING. OBJECT WAS PLACED IN A WARM BATH OF WATER AND ORVUS, WATER WAS CHANGED 4 TIMES, AND OBJECT WAS THEN THOROUGHLY RINSED UNDER COLD WATER ON SLANTED TABLE. A NEW SUBSTRATE WAS CREATED USING 3 LAYERS OF 120 GRAM JAPANESE MASA AND ONE LAYER OF HANDMADE OKAWARA FOR THE BACKING. OBJECT WAS ADHERED TO NEW BACKING (WHILE BACKING WAS STILL WET) USING ZEN-SHOFU AND PLACED IN A VACUUM-HEAT PRESS AT 120 DEGREES F. FOR 15 MINUTES TO FLASH CURE ALL LAYERS OF ADHESIVE. MINOR RESTORATIVE TOUCH UP WAS PERFORMED LOCALLY USING WATER SOLUBLE PIGMENT.

Conclusion

PROJECT COMPLETED ON 02/23/2011. FUTURE REVERSAL OF ALL CONSERVATORIAL AND RESTORATIVE PROCEDURES CAN EASILY BE ACHIEVED BY SOAKING OBJECT IN WATER, RINSING OFF PIGMENT AND PEELING AWAY SUBSTRATE.
