Gloves aren’t used as much when handling brittle papers, because gloves decrease tactile feedback to the conservator. They’re less likely to damage paper if they don’t wear gloves. They need their hands well cleaned with no lotion on hands.
No, gloves are not appropriate in most paper and book conservation, however clean, washed hands are. Gloves create a false tactile surface since paper is so thin and fragile and as previously stated can easily cause more damage to the paper then wanted.
She is using a bone folder and wheat paste to adhere the Japanese tissue to the paper. The amount of ammonia is small I believe in the water dilution. The ethanol I do not believe is mixed with the ammonium water. If anything, the ethanol may be diluted with water. If I remember correctly, ethanol is often used to spot treat mold.
@mrsillywalk - i would love to know why you believe she should wear gloves or a mask? the reason that white gloves are sometimes encoraged in libraries is to prevent the transfer of dirt (and skin oils) onto a sheet of paper- however gloves wil reduce the wearers senstivity so he/she may cause more damage.therefore clean hands pose much less risk. while 100% ammonia is harmful, most household cleanind products would contain more harmful chemicals that what is being used here.
Additionally, masks are not always necessary either. The conservator here is using a suction table which is pulling the material and consequently the residual vapors from the object. When suction tables are not used, normally when using harsh chemicals, it is done in a vacuum hood. Hope this helps clarify. P.S. This is the Getty, they know what they are doing.
I'm not sure if anyone on behalf of the Getty Museum response to these messages, but, if you happen to do so, I was wondering if you have any information of the type of paper in this video? What kind of fibre or pulp is it made from? Would love to know more.
Does her amoniated water and ethanol solution go through the paper into the suction table? Does this mean that it does not stay in the paper once is applied? Do you not rinse after applying solutions?or did you use ethanol by itself, you did not show a response.
1) A starch paste, these are commonly used in conservation and framing because you can adjust the "stickiness" of it to match the paper in question, and starch is a non permanent adhesive (easily removed)
This is an old video but popped in some research. I know you people are the experts however foxing is not caused by mold, if it was the work is contaminated. Foxing is a problem derived by the minerals in the water used to make the paper. If analyzed by current modern techniques you can come close to determine the minerals and where the paper mill was located.
What is the full name of ammonia I used the hydrogen peroxide for removing brown stains from the art paper. Tell me what thing is used for removing the art paper stains
Cool drawing, not too pretentious or complicated, just some dude having a drink, but still skilfully inked with a pen :D Almost looks like it could have been made in a bar by candlelight while being bored.
You could have avoided a lot of pointless comments by explaining why she didn’t wear gloves .. my gut reaction was to backhand the bitch when she touched it barehanded but then I chilled the F out
Gloves can be a hinderance when you need to feel how you are touching a fragile drawing. At the Getty Museum we think it is best to use clean, dry hands when handling fragile drawings or manuscripts.
@@gettymuseum Thank you for your knowledge, you did not explain why after your amoniated and ethanol solution you chose not to rinse the paper. Does this mean the solutions are still in the paper? If you could care to elaborate it would be best. Your knowledge is impeccable

Look at all the experts in the comments section.
They're everywhere in UA-cam apparently.

It's better to use ones' bare hands, so as to actually feel the paper and know when it's dangerous to handle something.
What a relaxing voice from the narrator. So enjoyable!
Unintentional asmr
I didn't like it, very mechanical and the accent's not very pleasant.

What's the title of the drawing? And who drew it and when?

Maravilloso. Excelente labor de conservación. Enhorabuena.

1) what is she using when pasting japanese paper?
2) what is % of ammonia and water?
3)should the ethanol be mixed in ammonium water?

Forgive an ignorant question : at the end, I'm curious--why such huge frames and mats for such small drawings? To me it makes them look tinier.
What did Michelangelo use as fixative on his charcoal drawings, so that it didn't smudge?
good question. im going to google it.
I wouldn't recommend a bristle brush to do the cleaning on destroying I would use a Kaminski sable brush
Very interesting

How to lighten up foxing?

Foxing is not caused by mold..
Exactly. It is rust.
love to do that job.
great .......
Has the Getty Museum incorporated non-destructive Raman chemical analysis instrumentation into its preservation and conservation programs?
You sell Ramans don't you?

They failed to mention in the video that the UV light also kills any mold that might be on the painting or drawing
Wow,,,
She puts the lotion in the basket or she gets the hose again.
She applied some ammonia on the drawing's hairs and they got cancelled ;(
top right hairs

Speaking of pointless comments...
Speaking of replying to pointless comments ....
My thought exactly. Also she should be wearing a mask.
Snooooooooze
She should have been wearing gloves.

Shouldn't she be wearing gloves?
No
