<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4468053, member: 60629&quot;]Time: About 8 hours spent cleaning this painting, 1 hour on prep/varnish, and 6-8 hours on research and material purchases (thanks to the Gainsborough guide and kit). With experience and materials on hand, probably could have shortened the time investment to about 6 hours total. Since this was the first painting I&#039;ve cleaned, I wanted to take my time and use this as a learning experience for future grimy paintings. </p><p><br /></p><p>About $50 in materials spent on just this painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps. P.S. I&#039;d say the varnish makes as much an impact as the cleaning itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
