Have you consulted with environmental testing professionals since? That is the first place I would start. This is a routine problem in demolition and construction. Testing pros can help you quantify the problem and develop a plan for mitigation. They are familiar with local regulations regarding safety, both with regard to your handling in treatment and subsequent display of the object. And they are usually familiar with local resources for mitigation as well. Google "environmental testing lvnv" and you will find several options in your neighborhood. I had to do lead testing on an architectural project recently. Turned out that all it would require for mitigation was coating. Your situation sounds rather different and I would be interested to hear more about it. How and where does the lead occur? Are we talking about leaded glass? Old solder? Good luck. Sounds like an interesting project. With greetings, as always, from sunny Santa Fe, Steven ------------------------------ Steven Prins Santa Fe, NM ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 04-22-2026 20:24 From: Jordan Tanner Subject: Lead Abatement/Encapsulation: Restoration Hi Emily, I am the Conservator for Special Collections and Archives at UNLV, so we are neighbors! While I do books and paper mostly, it might be good to be connected (even for future things). I may not be able to help much here, but I am curious about the project and what your needs are. ------------------------------ Jay Tanner He/Him/They Conservator, Special Collections and Archives University of Nevada, Las Vegas United States [email protected] <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Original Message: Sent: 04-14-2026 12:52 From: Emily Fellmer Subject: Lead Abatement/Encapsulation: Restoration Hello, Our institution is restoring a sculptural neon sign from the mid-1950s and a portion of the paint was tested positive for lead. We are having a difficult time sourcing local vendors in Las Vegas to remediate the lead prior to metal work and repainting. Does anyone have any contacts for lead abatement or encapsulation companies that are willing to travel for this type of work or know of any conservators near the west coast that travel to conduct this type of work? Thank you in advance for your guidance and recommendations. Thank you, Emily Fellmer Senior Collections Manager The Neon Museum ------------------------------ Emily Fellmer Senior Collections Manager Neon Museum Las Vegas United States ------------------------------ 3.From: Sotiris Kourtesis Posted: Friday April 24, 2026 8:34 AM Subject: Amelia International Conservation Studies - AICS 2026 Message: We are still accepting applications for our summer 2026 field school in Italy, hosted by Amelia International Conservation Studies (AICS).

I am in the process of thinking of a few changes I would like to make to the lab in the coming year and one of the things that is on my wishlist are some of those ergonomic chairs that allow you to lean on the "back" while working at the bench. I am curious if anyone has any thoughts or specific chairs they enjoy or even examples they don't like? I have done a small bit of looking and it appears they can be a bit expensive, so I was hoping to get some of your thoughts.
