While watching the Superbowl (well, while the commercials are muted ;) ), I came across this youtube video, interviewing a gentleman named Victor Castillo. He works for JM Restorations, in Oceanside, CA (Jaime Mendez' studio).
A nice interview and informative, but what caught my ear was his comment at about 3:08, where he states that after the touch up work has been completed, the entire poster is "sprayed and sealed." I am assuming this would be a water-based type of sealer, as anything else would make the touch ups permanent and non-removable (or much more difficult to do so).
What i did like, too, was the way the camera captured the touch ups to the fold lines at :56. From this angle, the retouched folds are still visible; the idea being that when looking at it straight on and in the proper lighting, fold lines can be rendered *almost* invisible, (since folds can result in breaks in the paper fibers and ink).

Customers in general (read, not nutty collectors like us) prefer the slightly glossier look I believe. Not sure if it is reversible. I hope so

I cant imagine spraying a stone litho poster from the 1920s to give it that (even) slightly glossy sheen when it wasn't that way to begin with. Unless it is a matte/dull finish. (Kryolan?)
And I, too, would hope that it is reversible. ;)

Chris,
When did you send a HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL OS out here to Oceanside?
If the time frame (of the vid) is right.. it very well could be. :)

A couple years ago now :)
That video was published in 2013 but I wonder when it was filmed?
I think mine had softer fold lines but would be cool...

Thanks, Charlie.
Not a good choice, tho (IMO), to touch up and then "seal" the restorative touch ups with an over spray. (Unless asked of the client beforehand, or suggested and, then, accepted). ;)
If so.. then all is fair in love and war.
;D

It is, Brian.
I was trying to decide if that was a later RR, being in black and white. It caught me eye, tho, too. ;)

No, it's an original release. It's a type of poster they did in the 20's and early 30's using the Rotogravure process. Pretty cool looking, but the stone-lithos are still the ticket.

Brandon,
Maybe this is one of the guys (the vid in the first post of this thread) that dealt with your poster, in some capacity.

Cool video. Looks like he does good work.
Although the modern glossies are more difficult to get matched up perfectly, the work could be a little better on a few posters in the video. One example is at 3:32.
I hadn't seen this before, so thanks for bumping this thread. I'll reserve my saga with JMR for the other thread.
cheers

At 1:28, it's interesting to hear about the way some customers are, and of course, very nice of JMR to allow customers to visit while they're working.
