Sturgeon glue and matte paint

The Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research is at present
in the early stages of a project evaluating the use of sturgeon glue
in the consolidation of matte paint in interior decorations, mainly
in stave churches.

At the moment we are interested in making contact with others who
are using/have been using sturgeon glue in conservation of matte
paint and any current information regarding experience/problems
using sturgeon glue.

We would also like to make contact with institutions presently
researching the use of sturgeon glue on matte paint.
