this train ain't got no brakes.

u could watch 15 baumgartner restoration videos and u'd think u know what the next step is by that point and be like oh yea so now julian's gonna stabilize the painting by placing it on the hot table and julian's like oh no no because this is a painting on wood and not on canvas we're going to do localized stabilization instead use a tacking iron with siliconized mylar release film. or you'll be like ok so because there's a tear in the canvas he's just going to do some bridging and julian will be like wrong again dumbass! the tear is too big so we're going to humidify the painting then hot table it and then add some washi cozo for stability like ok mr. unexpected i'm at the edge of my seat! i'm listening????
