AUCKLAND CASTLE

INVESTIGATIVE WORKS IN THE LONG DINING ROOM

We have completed extensive works in auckland castle over the years. this was a test carried out to determine if there was ever moulding works on walls of long dining room (built to house the Zurbaran's in the 1700's). After removing section of wallcovering (was patched back up later), we went back layer by layer of paint (each layer recorded) to original plaster.

Disappointments all round as no trace of mouldings were present.

FROM STAIN TO PAINT

SIR TOM COWIE FAMILY TRUST

contrary to what anybody tells you, you cannot paint over stain or varnish. it will not key! On interior you can get away with chemically deglossing and priming with a shellac based primer (ie; BIN primer by Zinsser). On exterior, it must be stripped first followed by a coat of primer (we use Zinsser cover stain for exteriors)
