Abstract: This bachelor thesis deals with the formation of heat blisters and the chemical and physical processes involved. Using a fire-damaged, painted door of the Ruppertsberg Teahouse (1842), a concept is developed for flattening and consolidating the heat blisters. In doing so, the focus is on the subsequent reuse of the door. First, common methods of heat blister treatments known in restoration practice are
presented, in a next step, their suitability for the object in question is weighed up and finally three heat sources are tested. The research process shows, that the use of an infrared lamp in combination with a heating spatula can be used to make the blisters more flexible and thus lay them down. An acrylic (Plexigum PQ611) dissolved in solvent is used to sufficiently consolidate the paint layers.
