Welcome back, Eduardo. I've missed you. Thank you for showing us your interactions and workings with your professor. That will be a lovely painting when fully restored. Thanks for sharing. The filming, sound, and editing were absolutely spot on. It felt like a professional videographer was working with you. Well done!
Thank you Vicky for your word's . I missed you all too.. This painting will need several intervenctions. I am so happy i have the chance again to have this conversation with you and you all. I am happy and thankful 😊🤗
Oh, this was a splendid video! Thank you, both to you and to your professor, for teaching me so much about historical patching and what can and cannot be done in patch removal. I did not quite understand near the beginning: did you say that the original patches sometimes had a piece of muslin to stabilize? Or did you say that you were going to use muslin to stabilize the new canvas lining? Part of this video made me chuckle. When your professor said, "There is a hole," and you agreed, "Yes, yes," the both of you knew what he was saying. But I was looking at it and thinking, "Yes, of course there is a hole-- it's a huge tear in the canvas that you have been working on for several minutes." It took me a few more seconds to understand that he meant a missing piece of the picture, not just a tear. My own English language tricked me! 🤭 It must be both pleasant and useful to have entrance to a whole Restoration Department. Are there always people there with whom you can consult about restoration techniques? Are there tools there that you wish you could have in your studio?
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you very much. It is amazing to read your words, and it is with pleasure that I am going to explain further. In fact, at the beginning, around minutes 4:29 and 4:35, look at the patch and you will see that under the patch, there was first applied a small patch of mousseline (a very fine kind of fabric) as an attempt to give more stabilization to the hole or tear in the canvas. When I remove the patch, I Will have to remove not only the old glue but also that mosseline. In the beginning, we also had the perception that the impact made a big hole in the canvas, but only after the canvas was made flat again could we see very well that there was a missing part of the canvas. That is why my professor said there was a hole in the canvas. The opportunity to be reunited with other people with the same interest in art conservation and restoration is a big privilege. I am very grateful. Also, the opportunity to discuss and learn new techniques is constant. And, of course, there are tools I wish I had. But the tool I wish for the most is a heating vacuum table. It is such a practical tool in the work I do. But I believe soon I will build one because I know it can really help me to put into practice several other actions I am doing now in a more classic way. I can achieve the same results, but it is more hard work. That is why I consider that it will really help me a lot. Thank you for your words, for watching the video, and for giving me such nice feedback. See you in the next one.
Greetings Stranger... Would propylene glycol help as a mild solvent for the old adhesives...??? Of course, I'm concerned it might damage other oxidized substances, but maybe a small area test would be in order...???
Thank you for your sugestion, thst really was hard to remove, only after a lot of trys of diferent solvents... But did work, i will make a research and test in the future using the solvent you sujest
Touching that lead white with bare hands and without masks is wild. 😨 I’m glad you know more about it now, but you definitely need to wear protective equipment in the future. It can absorb through your skin, and the dust it’s making will get into every uncovered hole in your face. It’s not a “potential” health hazard, it’s extremely toxic. Lead causes permanent brain damage that leaves people confused, violent, and unable to control their impulses. Please take care of yourself!
Thank you so much for your guidance. At the time I recorded this, I was not very informed about this substance, so in the beginning, I didn't take all the protective measures I should have. There were several patches to remove, and for the last ones, I was using gloves and a mask. This took me so much time to remove that being exposed for so long wouldn't have been good. So in fact, for the last ones I had to remove, I was protected. Unfortunately, I didn’t record those because I already had so many. But again, thank you for your attention. Your help is very much appreciated.
It is really good to see more of your work! Very glad that you have had some time to put together another video for us, we appreciate it!

Acho que ele falou de chumbo (lead), cancerígeno segundo as teorias.
Sim sim Paulo, é um derivado do chumbo, agora ja estou mais informado,. É um produto muito prejudicial, e altamente cancerigeno.
