Handling:
- Cleaner for oil paintings is ready to use, but can be diluted with water.
- Common use: Apply medium sparingly with a soft lint-free cloth on a small area and remove dirt by rubbing lightly (!). (Attention: The product should be left only very briefly on the surface of the picture. Take care with impasto art works: Such surfaces could be damaged mechanically if being rubbed to hard!)
- Careful after-treatment is recommended with oil of turpentine or turpentine substitute.
- Please check in advance whether the colour layer has a good binding force and a good adhesion to the substrate. Make sure that no upper-most colour layers are dissolved during cleaning! Always pre-test the product on an area that is not directly visible, e.g. at the edge of the picture in the fold region of the ornamental frame.
- We recommend that you have such work performed on valuable paintings by a professional restorer.
- Close tube immediately after use.
- Store in a cool and dry place.
- Individual pre-tests are required.
