Created agar gel 5% agar, 7.5pH DTPA for cleaning. Made a stencil of mylar for the top third of the scroll to cut gels into same shape. Cut third sheet of gel to apply to upper proper left corner of the scroll - figures are not centered, so another sheet is required. Created more pH7.5 DTPA water for formation of gels. Created 3 sheets of gel and applied (4/8), then removed (4/15) - Swabs were removing blue pigment so it was decided gels were the best course regarless of streaks that would form. Using 7.5 pH DPTA water, applied via swabs to remove dirt from surface.Acute Treatment
