Subject: Tapa
We are working on the conservation of a Tapa from Hawaii. Do anyone have information about the impregnation (oils, waxes, resins etc.) of such tapas? And on the binding media for pigments used in traditional Hawaiian artcraft? Furthermore, we are looking for a IR spectrum of candlenut.
