Subject: Sculpture carving medium
Sculpture Carving Medium: Polyvinyl Acetate Emulsion/ "Dead" (hydrated) plaster, and pine sawdust. Has any one had any experience restoring or cleaning the above sculpture medium? According to the artist, it was commonly used as a medium during the 1950's. When initially applied it was white in colour, but over time has discoloured to an uneven beige/light brown colour. There are also brown tide lines, and engrained dirt on the horizontal surfaces. This particular sculpture has been displayed in the foyer of a public building for over 40 years.
