This specialized cleaner dissolves those accumulated deposits without attacking the underlying paint film. Winsor \u0026amp; Newton formulates this solution from copaiba balsam, dipentene, and pine oil with ammonia, creating an emulsified mixture that specifically targets linseed oil oxidation products while leaving stable paint layers intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liquid naturally separates into two distinct layers; shake gently before use to recombine them. Apply sparingly with soft cotton swabs, working in small sections to monitor results as you clean. The solution lifts surface contamination methodically, revealing original color saturation beneath decades of accumulated dulling. This concentrated formula works as supplied, thinning compromises its carefully balanced chemistry and cleaning effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConservators and experienced painters use this cleaner for maintenance of their own work and restoration of collected pieces. It addresses the specific chemistry of oil paint aging, making it fundamentally different from general-purpose cleaners. For paintings with stable, well-cured surfaces that need revitalization rather than aggressive intervention, this cleaner provides controlled, effective results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winsor \u0026 Newton","offers":[{"title":"2.5 oz.","offer_id":48102341869797,"sku":"87663","price":11.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/collections\/painting-cleaning-painting-restoration.oembed","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
