An aging retired conservator settles into his wingback chair with a snifter of brandy. Suddenly, something subtle changes about his cozy study- he realizes he’s not alone. A gentle, Midwestern voice echoes from the shadows. “Mathias Alten sent me”.

I just had my own “Scraping, Scraping, Scraping or A Slow Descent into Madness” moment. My husband and I just completed the replacement of a new glass shower enclosure in our bathroom - but before the “restoration” could begin the copious amount of silicone caulking needed to be removed. I really felt that the project was made easier by watching Julian’s videos. I needed to experiment with various solvents so as to know what would be the most appropriate. I set out my tools in an organized manner as I tried various solvent/tool combos. I piled the silicone pieces in large but tidy piles so I could “see” my progress. (This drove my husband crazy.) But even with my thorough research into silicone removal this job involved the scraping, scraping, scraping of endless silicone residue. I yearned for Julian’s “muscle memory” to complete this tedious task. I identified with Julian’s frustration that the previous shower door installer had used inappropriate methods of installment which made my current task more difficult. I reveled when I realized that the I could detect a difference of sound between surfaces with residue and surfaces where I had removed it. When I considered giving up on this tedious exercise I kept asking myself what would Julian do? Would he leave the job only half completed reasoning that no one would “see” any residue that would be hidden under the new shower door? Of course he wouldn’t. The only thing that seemed to deviate from making this a total Baumgartner experience was that I had no specialized photography to see areas that needed restoration, no need for use of the hot table and did not have to deal with any of those blasted staples that seem to be the bane of his existence. Oh, and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was going to be able to use washi kozo paper and fish gelatin to protect the tile surfaces! All this and more went through my mind.

Twitch really won’t work with Julian’s workflow. He made it clear he has to step away * sometimes, and works in short bursts. Besides that, his whole workplace is in different places, so it would be cumbersome for him to make that work well. He also makes it clear that some days, he feels it and some days he doesn’t. It’ll take a lot of work to make shots viewable at all when moving paintings around a lot. I don’t really know. (Zach Sparks said it well too!) He needs to be delicate and you can’t ensure that on Twitch’s demands.

It’s really really interesting to hear about how personal tolerance and the brain plays into your work. I’m so used to the idea that artists should just power through their body’s natural signs telling them to rest in order to work more. I know sometimes I draw for so long my eyes start to blur, but I’ve always tried to force myself through it under the guise it’d make me stronger in the long run. I think people make it seem like getting worn out is a personal weakness that needs to be overcome to be “good,” but seeing you incorporate frustration and exhaustion as almost equally important as using the right kind of solvent or amount of heat helped me see it in a different light.

If you are interested in what I do there is already several good Gunsmithing channels on KZbin. You just have to watch out for the hobbyist that call themselves a Gunsmith and put out very incorrect and misinformed information. Usually you can tell pretty quickly if they are legit or not.

Anyone who takes pride in their profession would be at least a little upset at seeing sloppy, improper work, especially if it caused actual, irreversible damage to its subject. Hearing the emphasis in his tone makes it clear that he loves and respects artists and their art, and it pains him to see a painting degraded not by the inevitable passage of time, but by poor and careless treatment. I'm also impressed by the fact that he doesn't heap graphic personal insults upon the unnamed, brainless douchebauble who thought it was a good idea to take a canister of the stuff you'd use to seal a wooden floor and APPLY IT TO A PAINTING.

Polyurethane is basically a strong, glossy, adhesive coating material commonly used on wood- such as flooring. It’s a pain to poly large areas of flooring because it’s really strong. You have to sand the old polyurethane off, then vacuum and clean the floor, then apply the first coat, then let it dry for a few days (don’t forget to air the room out while the floor’s drying, because polyurethane-scented air can do serious harm!), wash and vacuum the floor again, repeat for a second and third coat. And if you mess up? Back to the drawing board, because your floor looks awful now. Also, I think it might be dangerous to get on your skin, too. I have no idea why anyone would put the Devil’s clear nail polish on a painting.

Long story short, Mr. Baumgartner, you have saved my loaf of bread and if that doesn’t make you feel like your life has meaning, I don’t know what will.

@@carlotta4th I mean, after that amount of scraping? Baby, nothing is out of character for anyone if you scrape off enough layers ;) Or, in our case, if they spend enough time on scraping off one layer. Actually what I wanted to say originally was that sometimes people really enjoy doing things differently then they do them most of the time, and there is a possibility that a guy that spends a lot of time restoring stuff would have fun breaking something, especially if it wasn't as important as the pieces of art he's usually working on. Why didn't I say it first thing? I just kinda couldn't resist going into a semi-comedic character writer rant

Nice restoration. I was looking at the data plate of my favorite car a few days ago thinking a varnish would protect and saturate the remaining color. Its 60 years old and faded but gives the car it's authenticity. It should look old but not damaged. I first thought about the durability of a polyurathane overcoat but after seeing your restorations I immediately thought about the next guy trying to get that crap off. I decided on a water-based polycrylic clear that can be softened with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab without softening the original enamel. Therefore, easily reversible!
