<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10398791, member: 79705"]I would say student/amateur based on the proportions, brush work, gaps in-between areas, and the cardboard. Still, someone who was on their way to being confident with their brush. </p><p><br /></p><p>Typically low heat is used and not moisture because moisture creates problems with paint adherence, mold, etc. So a restorer would use a heat table with vacuum to relax the fibers without damage like cracking the paint afaik. If the paint is fairly thin then I'd probably feel okay diy-ing it with weight and time. Make sure you lay something down to protect the paint from whatever you put on top of it (or the surface you lay it on). I'm not a restorer though, so this is only what I would do in my devil-may-care way and not necessarily the right advice lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
