Subject: [PestList] freezing a leather/wooden chest
ATTENTION! External email / courriel externe.
Hello folks
We are struggling to decide whether we can risk this object in our freezer as
we would prefere to use Nitrogen but with the current legislation in the UK, we
cannot.
The chest is a composite of leather streatched over wood with metal clasps and
is in a good condition
We would prep it with several layers of acid free tissue and extra over the
metal clasps
Several bags of acid free tissue puffs will be put inside to take up the volume
and we will double wrap it thick HDPE which will be heat sealed.
Our freezer is computer controlled to get to -35 centigrade over 2-3 days, hold
for 72 hours and then a controlled return to ambient so the whole cycle is a
week. During this time, the object will not be touched until the freezer has
returned to ambient , the entire cycle taking 7 days
Any thoughts or experience with freezing something like this would be
appreciated
Many thanks
