Surface Dirt and dust was removed using dry cleaning methods such as soft brushes and a museum vacuum on low suction with a net guard covering the nozzle.
This was followed by wet cleaning the surface of the pediment with Tri-Ammonium Citrate 2% in distilled water as it was the most affective in removing the engrained dirt and did not affect the state of the oil gilding. Acetone was used to treat the water gilding.

Once the gesso had dried it was then sanded down to make it smooth, level and matched the original appearance of the corner
Cementing
After leading the panel is then cemented. This weather proofs the glass and the lead if it were to be displayed outside.
ā
Modgson Sealants 'Leaded Light Cement for use with stained glass' was used to provide a protective coating on the panel.
ā
The cement is applied thickly with a brush to both sides of the panel, especially under the lead.
ā
An ouster knife is then used to smooth down the edges of the lead which causes the cement to be trapped under it.
ā
Whiting is then sprinkled over both sides of the cement covered glass. This allows it to dry up more quickly, however it is removed from the lead surface with a rag because it can be hard to remove.
ā
The whiting is left to set for half an hour before it is removed from the rest of the panel using a wooden pick and brush.
