I am a member of team "Atelier Jovan" in charge for conservation and
restoration of gilded objects made of wood. Please see
<URL:http://cvejicres.tripod.com>. Maybe, you can find my
experiences with non-traditional materials and techniques
interesting and useful to you. If you need more details please
contact me. Also god idea is to visit JAIC at:
<URL:http://aic.stanford.edu/jaic/> and search the resources they
offer. I had luck few times, to find very good information there.
