I’ve seen Julian when he gets pieces which have been duct taped. He’s not a happy camper.

I don't understand.

  • Julian Baumgartner is a professional fine art conservator with a fairly popular youtube channel. Duct tape shows up from time to time in the pieces he's tasked with conserving, and it's always a terrible thing.

    In fact it's a pretty big feature in the latest video (a drum) where he calls it

    > a horrible material, because when it's fresh and young the adhesive's really goey and hard to get off, and then, when it gets old, the adhesive dries and it's... hard to get off

    and he has to deal with both on the same drum.
