<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 469561, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p>It was enough to save your own by spitting into a glassful several times a day for a week. Keep it in the refrigerator and well marked!!!!! Five of us did that for a week.</p><p>Then we started, take a Q-tip and dip it into the salvia and gently rub over the painting in 2 sq inches, let sit and then with a new Q-tip dampened with a tiny bit of water and rinse off the area you did. Then taking a clean Q-tip dampened with alcohol wipe off the area you just washed and rinsed. The five of us took several weeks to clean two of the painted panels. They were 2 feet wide and 7 ft tall. We had a total of 12 panels to do. That was the start. The four other helpers did help when ever they were able. Usually four hours a week, I did at least three hours a day. They were stunning when done. They were the easy part. The large plaster Stations of the Cross were six feet by six ft, They took much longer since they had no protective final finish on top. Every tiny spot ½ inch square was done at a time with the saliva and then rinsed and dried with a hair dryer. No rubbing or the color would lift off.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
