This volume presents papers from the ICON Paintings Group conference held at the National Portrait Gallery, London, focusing on the use of adhesives and consolidants in painting conservation. Contributors address key issues such as application techniques, reversibility, long-term stability, and material performance. Case studies and research highlight challenges including brittleness, discolouration, and removal difficulties, offering insights into the properties and behaviour of materials commonly used for lining, consolidation, and temporary facing treatments.
Adhesives and consolidants used in the conservation of paintings (e.g. for lining, the laying down of paint flakes, the application of temporary facings etc, can have very varying properties at the time they are applied. Over time, and under differing conditions, some materials can present concerns for the conservator including brittleness, yellowing and discolouration and difficulty in removal. The papers in this volume, presented at an ICON paintings group conference at the National Portrait Gallery, London, confront some of the problems encountered including: the practical application of materials; reversibility and long -term performance; the properties required of an adhesive and the properties of some of the materials commonly used as consolidants / adhesives.
