The purpose of this project was to find new methods to relax and flatten tracing paper supports for works of art. GORE-TEX barrier was used to achieve an even and gentle relaxation without any risk for water sensitive colours. Flattening was carried out on the suction table. This procedure allows severe undulations from tracing papers to be removed with minimal stress. Even highly water-sensitive colours are not endangered nor are the dimensions of the tracing papers enlarged.
