When the entire support structure is compromised, and when every other solution at saving and salvaging the panel is exhausted, a transfer may be required. This intervention consists in transferring the painted layers from the original support to another one. The methods, tools and materials used in this intervention are still in the experimental stages. This is due to the fact that the transfer always brings with it serious risk for the work, and in any case, it is profoundly altered. The procedure consists of the gradual demolition of the wood support, or, by separating the pictorial layers from the support by softening the ground preparation which loses its adhesive strength. The new support must guaranty absolute stability for the pictorial film and it can be made from balsa wood. It can also be constructed of a box of bakelite between due layers of fibreglass. Between this structure and the paint layers, there is a sheet of polystyrene that allows for future restoration interventions.
