<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chinoiserie, post: 10888726, member: 79460&quot;]So I was concerned that the cardboard backing was leaching foxing through to the painting and decided to remove it. I also wanted to add a mount as it doesn&#039;t have one. Unfortunately they are glued together, so all I could do is remove the excess around the edges. I was hoping that it was just a line of glue applied around the edge. I thought if I could work through this then I could remove all the material from the centre. It looks like the whole painting is glued to the back board. I have had to abort mission through fear of damaging it. </p><p>I&#039;ve found a mount exactly the right size and it&#039;s looking more presentable already. It would be great if I had the expertise to apply a more alkaline solution to the painting to try and neutralise some of the acid but I haven&#039;t got the expertise. I will practise one day on a naff painting maybe. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway heres the mounted painting. Just need a suitable frame now.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534906[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
