Hi Eric, We don't have experience with such treatments, but you may want to reach out to a regional conservation center in Denmark called 'The Konserveringscentret i Vejle', The Conservation Center in Vejle. Here's a section of their website <http://www.konsv.dk/english-summary/> in English.
I'm not sure if they are still doing heat treatments, but were a couple of years ago in addition to freezing and anoxic treatments. I think their storage manager is Knud Mortensen ([email protected]). If you have any trouble reaching them, I can try to help further. They're a fantastic group and a very good model in all things. Hope it helps, Maria On Fri, Oct 26, 2018 at 12:39 PM, Breitung, Eric < [email protected]> wrote: > Does anyone on the list have experience using heat treatments for pest > eradication on or near art?
