Abstract

Historical survey of the use of synthetic resins for lining and consolidating paintings. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional and nontraditional methods are described, with a lengthy presentation of polyvinyl acetate, heat seal, cold lining, low temperature heat seal, and pressure-sensitive adhesives, as well as the consolidants accompanying lining treatments. Conservators and literature references specific to each technique are mentioned.
