Taking the saying, 'One mans junk is another mans treasure' , a bit too seriously. Freelance Archaeological Conservator

(a selection of post cleaning photos) , overall by removing 15+ years of settled dust from the boats surface with soft brushes, musuem vac and smoke sponges, the vibrant colour of the oak log boat was revealed, and has allowed better visibility for cut marks

Was lovely to be back at @derbymuseums today to lead conservation workshops to clean the Hanson log boat
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers and staff who joined today, you all made such a difference!

@NTChedworth i mean pigeons are rock doves soooooo

@Paulatics @SamaHyde You can buy it on amazon the small tub goes long way and will last years if just using for personal use

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

@Paulatics @SamaHyde Thats exactly it :)

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

@SamaHyde @Paulatics The commercial polishes but it will give a polish that is very mild and minimal abrasive which will reduce damage to your worn plating
You than just wipe off paste with damo cloth .
(also old t shirts work well as the polishing rags for this)
Hope that helps

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

@SamaHyde @Paulatics But if you are going tobdo any further polishing id recommend you do not use commercial silver polish as they can be aggressive on plate
Instead use a paste made from ground chalk and drop of warm water on cloth . Rub the paste in circular motion, it will take longer than 4/

@crawford_ben @LivUniResults @LivUni Send me the meeting details 😁

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

Hey @LivUniResults Anyone need a free desk chair?
@LivUni how can you justify sending perfectly good chairs to landfill? This is wasteful and environmentally irresponsible of the university! 😡#pollution #Liverpool #landfill #environmentaloffenses

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

@rgrubinstein Shocking.
You killed my cactus from over watering in past. Im amazed you keeping plant alive

[Naomi Aliza Rubinstein @ImAConservator]

So a quick Google has found these chairs sell for around £90 each. I honestly can't understand why they were not resold, given to another department or donated. The university has told us due to covid we have less for Reaserch allowance, yet they are throwing away 💷💷 😢
