We remove a very discoloured varnish. We learn about "full bottom wigs" and start to retouch the portrait late into the night! We also make a decision on what to do with the extender piece we found last episode. 0:00 - Introduction 0:21 - Face cleaning 5:02 - Wig cleaning and history 9:06 - Swab checking 9:25 - Extender piece decision 9:56 - Applying barrier varnish 10:30 - Retouching extender 12:30 - Retouching rips and tears 14:07 - The night shift 15:23 - Credits" from video introduction
