Study on the filling material for the painting wall layer of the temple wall painting using a natural adhesive

Considering the physical quality of the wall body in this study we tried to select a replenishing that is proper for filling the cracked part of the painting wall layer and apply the natural adhesives that have traditionally been used, investigating whether it is possible to substitute those for the chemical adhesive which is used at present time. The result of this study showed the red algae adhesive was, in a weathering environment, as safe as the synthetic resin originated from the polyvinyl acetate which is used generally on the present spot, and it was concluded that although the starch adhesive displayed its superiority in enhancing the strength of the earth mortar and its work disposition, it seemed proper for it to be used as a filling adhesive for the first or midterm layer because it showed a surface hardening phenomenon. And also the glue and fish glue were judged they were not qualified as a filling adhesive due to mold occurring in a environment of high moisture that is a biological problem, showing at same time a weak physical feature in a weathering environment. Therefore it would be possible to use the red algae adhesive or starch one substituting them for the original one sold on the present market, if among natural adhesives the weak points of the them were to be corrected.
