Thank you. This confirms my thought, that the only way to preserve flaking paint is to glue it back down. What a tedious process!

Excellent video! I am so impressed with the knowledge, time, and effort that goes into this type of work. I'm loving the Conservator's Mindset series!!!

*Very interesting, it's refreshing to see original paint being preserved rather than just torn off and replaced with modern shiny 2 pack (urrgghh)* 👍👍👍👍

This is a great video. I have an antique sheet metal sign from a family business that I want to stabilize. Is the resin you mention commercially available? If so, could you share the name of it? Thanks.
