I have just recieved a Japanese Kimono shawl for urgent treatment.
While making a floor from liquid concrete, some of the concrete found
its way through the ceiling into the lower level and ended on the
textile. This kind of concrete is unfortunately completely dry within 4
hours. The damage occured some days ago and went unnoticed because the
owner of the Textile was on vacation....I can remove some of the
concrete by scratching with thin needles under the microscope, but as
the concrete was liquid, the silk threads are soaked with it; and
scratching does not work without damaging some of the fibres and still
leaves a dull, visible stain. Does anyone have some kind of miracle-method? I do not know of anything that would disolve concrete (and preserve the silk)? Sincerely, Karin von Lerber --
