<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4494676, member: 60629&quot;]Funny this topic came back up. I just finished cleaning, varnishing, and repaired the wood backer for this painting. Used regular emulsion cleaner and varnished with semi gloss Regalrez conservation varnish. The painting was apparently previously cleaned years ago and was not varnished when I started work on it. Why aren&#039;t more paintings varnished? I&#039;ve got to give this varnish a 5/5 rating. Adds great depth, protects, and is more removable and resistant to yellowing than Damar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway the frame was much dirtier than it appeared at first. Rather than coming off, some of the gunk on the frame just darkened. Need to work on the frame more but I&#039;ve stabilized and protected the painting for now at least.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]392364[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Stina, unfortunately I haven&#039;t been able to get in touch with Mr. Peterson (I&#039;ve tried his FB). Have you posted pictures of your Cooper paintings to the forum? Folks here may be able to help. I&#039;m more than happy to comment but the only Cooper experience I have relates to my painting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
