Short-term exposure to diethylaminoethanol is known to cause softening and pitting of the varnish layers, resulting in a disturbing haze. It is possible that over time surface deposits of the inhibitor may penetrate the varnish and react with the underlying paint layers catalyzing hydrolysis or oxidative degradation of the oil, tempera or acrylic media. Using natural and artificially contaminated painted surfaces as samples, studies will be conducted to determine if diechyaminoethanol can penetrate the surface of coated and uncoated paintings and react physically or chemically with the underlying paint surface.
