Not really news if you have ever worked with these machines, but the air abrasive machines are temperamental. This is an appeal; if you can spare some time to help sort the current air abrasive machines or possibly lend the CSI: lab a set up for the duration of the project – the conservators would be most grateful. Although we can achieve a lot by mechanically cleaning with a scalpel, we need air abrasive machines to complete the work and this aspect seems to be slowing an otherwise successful project down somewhat, as well as driving everyone barmy!
If you can help then please contact us.
Thank you to West Dean for lending an air-abrasive machine for the remainder of the CSI: project!
