Moist sub-frame
 

The picture with the old subframe, 100-year-old, kept in inappropriate conditions and moist sub-frame, "Command", the tree a little bit swollen.

How to dry and straighten?
I can not remove the cloth - it is nailed in a special way, characteristic only for this artist.



Who will advise?

Eriksson, you must first decide , what is more valuable : the canvas stretcher , or ...?

Further, before restoration picture carefully photographed , something to
not to lose the features of leaf attachment to the subframe.

Then the painting still needs to be removed from the stretcher .

It is the same as the stretcher was in the wet , so
restorer will first need to wrestle with the possibility of mold.

Stretcher dried and processed separately from the canvas,
 or dispose of all, using the same principle-

" more valuable: the canvas or the stretcher ...". <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Kaffsky, fungus , thank God , no. Not so disastrous to lug to the restorer . Here's how to be at home ... ?
I thought, might impose a stretcher linen bags of calcium chloride ? It is sold as an absorbent for homes , seemingly harmless .
It does not hurt the oil ?

To decide how to act in such cases is necessary to know the degree of deformation of the stretcher, and what consequences this has resulted in the deformation with respect to holstu.Esli canvas on one diagonal is strongly taut and slack on the other ("sail") and even forcibly straightening the canvas stretcher is not returned in the normal state, the sub-frame should be clearly zamenit.Eto work for the restorer. If the deformation of the stretcher and the canvas is small or absent from the canvas, the stretcher must be dried by putting a picture on a clean canvas, painting down on top of the back of the picture put a piece of plywood or a countertop, and gruz.Estestvenno picture should be in a dry place. In the gap between stretcher and canvas we have to put sheets of paper which has absorbent properties. This will speed up the drying in the first place, and secondly not allow subframe to leave traces in the form of a square on the canvas perimeter zhivopisi.Listy these should be changed. rate changes depends on the degree of dampness of wood stretcher. Sorbents of which you speak are applicable, but blowing hot air net.Podramnik dry, but the deformation is not completely disappear t.k.odin times deformed, wooden structure remains the navsegda.No inserting a picture with a slight deformation of the subframe in the frame and pushing the stretcher to the plane of the fixture, you are visually correct the situation.

Tandem, thanks!
That's what an experience!
The paper is suitable as an absorbent?

 
In principle, da.Tolko first check so as not to get dirty printing kraska.V knigi.Udachi use as cargo.

Eriksson, instead of the newspaper is better put a filter paper.

And best of all listen to the advice of Kaffsky

Toinen, good advice from Kaffsky, but the sense of how to shoot a picture ? If the subframe is cracked , broken, broken corner joints then yes restoration needs . And there is only damp , "Command " (the picture is not broken ) , a little swollen is not so dangerous. Agrees with the tandem , subframe can extend the life of dried and inserted into the frame . You can turn shellachkom stretcher to remove the cover if there is a skewed figure of eight sub-frame , but this is a very rare case .

Magic Tips! In particular - about the "shellachka" who (is) we can eliminate the bias strips stretcher ...
For the record: while the damp wood is not properly dried, cover it anything other than the mat, it is strongly not recommended. Do not bother to evaporate moisture and negativity naturally.
Eriksson, a board: show restorer. (Optional - should shellac polish only for its intended purpose).
While reading the reviews about the use of experts in such cases "shellachka" and insoles for drying shoes - that's remembered.

Recently bought a camera Canon 400D. For a short time has already shot a bunch of
pictures and now thinking if I did not combine business with pleasure? A
- namely, part-time job photographing weddings. With the practice of photographing the sign
first-hand - had a decent experience shooting with the "Zenith". Prikidyvayuchto you need to do. The lens is available only until the "whale", I understand that you need another, but now does not pull. Is it possible only with the "whale"?
We need an external flash, plain enough money to thousands of 6-8,
recommend - what better than to take. Additional memory card and
battery purchase. What else you need? Stand with the "Cable" - I do not know?
In my opinion do not necessarily have.

Recently purchased a scalpel. For a short time has already slashed leather sofa and nearly slaughtered his dog. And now, thinking if I did not combine business with pleasure? Namely - the heart surgeon to work. On
practice of surgery familiar not by hearsay, had a decent experience
can opener. Estimated what it takes. Scalpel until
imprisoned, and only one, I understand that you need another, but not now pull.
Is it possible to only a scalpel to make a coronary artery
artery bypass grafting? Krovostanavlivayuschy need another clip on the money
plain enough for the thousands of 6-8, recommend how best to take. Wool and
buy tampons myself. What else is needed for the surgery? Trocar
cavity and tissue forceps, I do not know? In my opinion do not necessarily have.
