However once you have been trained and have the right system, it’s very very simple. Suzanne's experience is not uncommon and one of the major reasons why anoxia has taken so long to become an established method. Previously people with a problem either had to source the various components and try to work out a method or to employ a contractor, who in some cases may not be ‘skilled in the art’ either. This is a great pity as anoxia is a perfect method for conservation. It is gently, pesticide (and any other chemical) free with minimum risk. As opposed to most other methods, including freezing, where there clearly is an identifiable risk. This is why I developed the ZerO2 system:- To give conservators the ability to access all the right materials from one source, at a reasonable price and with expert training and support. The many delighted customers and case histories we have bears testament to this. I do not think it reasonable to doubt the value of this effective method based on people using inferior materials and poor technique. Colin Smith Conservation Ltd.

We had trouble keeping the bag from getting holes in it and achieving a good seal. The ZerO2 system looks fairly easy to use. I'd be curious to see who has used it in the us. For our project, we wound up purchasing a freezer for about $700. It was much easier in the long run. We bought a fairly large one ca 7 feet across ca. 3 feet deep and 3 feet high. We got it from a discount appliance center in town-they delivered it. By far this was the easiest way we found for treating the art and was relatively cheap compared to the purchase of all the materials to do the anoxic atmosphere. Plus we have the freezer for future fumigation, cold storage, or emergency freezing should we have a leak/water emergency. It can always be turned off and left hinged open when not needed to save energy. It may seem like overkill, but at the very low temps, we froze some hxtal and it lasted for weeks!
