powdered silk



I am researching various approaches to unmounting and "lifting" old mounted silk that is powdering. I am inclined to think that lining for removal, similar to what is done with paintings and frescoes, would be an option, but what would be the most suitable consolidant? Any thoughts or anecdotes on the subject would be most appreciated!
