Marouflage, Relining and the Treatment of Cupping with Atmospheric Pressure

Abstract

THERE are several processes in the treatment of paintings in which the application of pressure is necessary; these are the treatment ofcupping, flaking paint and blisters, relining, marouflage, and transfer. In the past this has been done by means of hot irons or such devices as jacks and clamps, which suffer from the disadvantage of not providing uniformly distributed pressure and, more seriously, of damaging the impasto, examples of which were formerly not uncommon. In order to overcome the latter defect [I] resort has been made to sand bags, tinfoil facings with sawdust bedding and felt, cork and blankets as buffers to the action of the iron.
