	The art of restoration is more difficult than art it self. I would highly recommend contacting or farming the work out to a art restoration expert, I have done art restoration and currently restore paintings and it has taken many years to become confident in the field every painting and situation is different, and difficult in its own way. Let me know if I can help you with the restoration or contacting someone in your area.

	Contact AIC for a referral to a painting conservator. As I tell my clients who bring in paintings to be seen by my conservator. " IT IS NOT THE LIST OF CHEMICALS BEING USED. IT IS KNOWING HOW TO USE THAM AND KNOWING WHEN TO STOP!" In other words never try out something on a clients piece of art prior to having a complete knowledge of what you are doing and knowing how to recover from an unforseen problem. Regards, Jerry
