[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9605694, member: 2844"]A beautiful Balinese lime container/gourd, painted in Kamasan style. Unfortunately there is paint loss, and the paint is still flaking a bit. The question is, how do I stop it from flaking? I don't know what kind of paint it is, what it is based on. I suspect the container is 1940s, but it could be older. I have Renaissance wax, which is microcrystalline wax, but I don't want to do anything without your advice. I appreciate any help I can get, and also tagging [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] , [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] , [USER=79705]@mirana[/USER] . Thank you for looking.:) [ATTACH=full]466780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]466785[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
