85 The sculpture of the crucified Christ due to severe woodworm damage. In these parts, the gel softened the original polychromy and the paper support. To prevent damage, the wormholes and the losses of the support were first consolidated with a 20% solution of Plexigum PQ 611 in acetone. The consolidant was injected with a syringe. The cavities were then filled with a filler mixture of Plextol B 500 and glass microballoons (Cara XV99) before the overpainting was removed.
