<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 418072, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I would NOT use water distilled or not. It is too easy for the water to go to the back and start lifting the paint off the gesso. We used salvia to clean paintings as recommended by the Met museum in NYC. We cleaned 10 panels 10ft high by 3 ft wide. Dap it on about 2 Sq inches wait a couple of minutes and cleaned it off with cotton balls. I know some people used water and did not have a problem but I have seen many examples were it caused a lot of damage. Not immediately but with in a year the paint started to pop off.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
