Treatment; Treat any objects in C&D categories from survey.; Metals

Reason: Post-survey
Description: Dies and Punches: The active iron corrosion was removed using a selection of hand tools including:scalpel, stencil brush, bone handled brush, porcupine quill, scalpel or satay stick. Ideally, air abraisve (with or without powder) would have been used as it it would have been quicker and more effective, however, as the extraction is not functioning, other methods needed to be used. Once the corrosion was removed local areas were consolidated with 5-10% Paraloid B72 in Acetone but not on many of the objects ad once the 'orange rust' was removed they were flawless underneath. The heavy wax was removed using a scalpel and then with swabs of white spirit. Note 203: This has many areas of old de-laminated and surface loss that is very disfiguring. These areas were cleaned, colsolidated and touched in using brown Acrylic colours to blend and not draw the eye. Scales sets and Weights: Corrosion was removed from weights or scales using wire wool or scalpel under microscopy and degreased and cleaned using cotton swabs of IMS. Suspension threads re-tied and/or repaired using adhesive and Japanese tissue. Paper re-layed using Methyl-cellulose adhesive.
