<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 10645953, member: 37&quot;]Have not done it a lot but, when I have, it really stings.&nbsp; I still remember 40 years ago washing a large Consolidated Art Glass vase and using too hot water.&nbsp; Of course it cracked and was permanently ruined.&nbsp; Should have known better but you can bet I have not made that mistake again.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most recently, while transporting a painting that I was going to take to the Antiques Roadshow, I placed it upright along side the car seat vertically.&nbsp; Just adjacent, I had some glass shelves propped at an angle in front of the car seat with the bottom edge on the floor and resting against the front of the seat at an angle.&nbsp; I thought them plenty secure.&nbsp; Somehow they shifted while going around a corner and leaned against the painting.&nbsp; They remained in contact the rest of the trip and there is now a pretty good gouge in the painting.&nbsp; Of course it is right in the middle where it is readily apparent. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately, I brought a back-up painting, as I was unsure of which to take.&nbsp; Made my decision for me.&nbsp; The painting can be fixed but it is going to require cleaning before doing so.&nbsp; Cleaning is probably going to entail varnish removal, so not all that easy.&nbsp; It is one of my favorite paintings so I am going to have to get it fixed before I can put it back on the wall.&nbsp; Really has created a headache for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
