The presented series of articles describes a genesis, construction, development and use of a low-pressure table for doubling the paintings and also its other applications in the conservation of works of art. Because the conservation of paintings involves such factors as pressure, raised temperature, moisture and canvass stretching, they have to be approached with far-going caution. A common use of heated tables, usually referred to in Poland as vacuum tables, is associated with too severe work conditions. Therefore, studies have been carried out for years to find new solutions. They have resulted in designing a low-pressure doubling table. Its construction is very simple and it allows to carry out various types of conservation work in which the above listed factors are used in a well-controlled way. This allows also to avoid doubling, restricting thus conservation activity to a permanent strengthening of the object and its protection through impregnation. The unit can also be employed in the conservation of textiles and graphics. So far, it has been modified and improved many times. W. Mitka describes a portable unit for the conservation of paintings, which may also be used in the conservation of mural paintings A. Mitka discusses a low- pressure attachment to be used with an ordinary vacuum table and the use of a perforated plate in this type of units.

In the method of a reversible relining of paintings on canvas bases, the adhesive is used solely on the relining canvas, and produces a self-adhesive coating. The author applied Plextol D 360 in numerous operations. The effects of research into the effectiveness of relining with the help of Plextol 360 were compared with the usage of other adhesives. The author also conducted a series of tests with other adhesives. Finally, he mentions various examples of employing Plextol D 360 in conservation work. (translated by A. Rodzińska-Chojnowska)

In his endeavours to improve the conservation workshop the author has designed two units: a reheater and a cauter. The units are employed in conservation ateliers of the Faculty for the Conservation of Easel Paintings and Wooden Polychromed Sculpture, attached to the Department of the Conservation of Works of Art of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. The reheater has proved to be very useful in the removal of oil and distemper recoatings, uncovering of repainted gildings, removal of metal regildings, fastening of damaged technological layers of paintings and sculptures with wax and resing masses and the use of these masses in wood impregnation.
