Subject: Delamination of paint films
I would like to learn of successful treatment(s) for the problem of delaminating paint films when an artist chooses to use acrylic paint on top of oil based paint. This problem is appearing more often, from paintings done in the late 1940's. Injecting adhesives is problematic because the delaminating process is on-going, some of the paint remains "stuck". I'm also concerned that the solvent in the adhesive actually accelerates the process. Any insight and/or comments would be appreciated.
