[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10542157, member: 79705"]Mineral spirit i believe, but I'd rewatch the episode to be sure. Think it was the one of the Queen? I know it was an older oil portrait. It's not permanent though; just a trick. You have to have a conservator's book of chemical mix tricks for real cleaning and so far all I've found is they guard the modern methods very closely lol. Hah! They let him do a tiny section for a bit. It's not actual cleaning or varnish removal. It's a temporary clarity to the varnish and goes away when dry.[/QUOTE]
