and here are the results of my attempts to save the backglass.. using Triple Thick and cling wrap.

First i needed to get tripe thick between the peeling artwork and the glass. To do that, after laying the glass flat i used a drinking straw, held against the TT spray nozzle to get a heap of TT UNDER the lifted artwork, then i sprayed more TT onto the back of the art before CAREFULLY laying the clingwrap over the wet TT and pressing it down into position, luckily the art hadnt shrunk too bad at all and it all went into place pretty well, i held it all in place with pieces of plywood and weights and left it to dry. i ended up having to leave it for over a week, for it to dry properly, it took ages because the TT between the glass and artwork wasnt really exposed to air so it took longer ^&^

It also ended up getting a few bubbles in it which i want too happy about, but considering what i started with it could have been a LOT worse, anyway 1st pic was taken from under the glass while the TT was drying, and the others are how the glass currently looks.

I plan on doing more work on this glass.. the lit up KISS name has a few cracks through it, so my plans are to re-do this area using the same tricks i used on my Zaccaria Universe BG restore...

Stay tuned for further updates
