    Inherited this watercolour many years ago; bought years and years ago for 9 shillings. Artist quite well known for painting his ships on the Thames. Never hung it due to the foxing/ fungus/ mould etc and have rung many people trying to find a fix that didn't cost the earth. No luck but did hear of a process that could do the trick. Decided I would try to repair it or let it die an excruciating death.

    The result was death by a thousand swords, and then some. The cure was to soak it in a very very weak chlorine solution and some spots did disappear. BUT, by all accounts a disaster. And now I have 3 others in the same original state and little idea what to do for repair.

    The results...
