  • Varnishing Than with Any Other Stage of the Painting Process
    INFO SHEET 301 UPDATED JULY 2016 VA R NISHING We get more questions about varnishing than with any other stage of the painting process. Varnishing should be an almost mechanical process undertaken to give your painting a protective coating with the surface quality you prefer (gloss, satin, etc.) and possibly an enhancement of colour contrast. But, if you leave it till the last moment and use a varnish you are not used to, you can ruin the work you are trying to protect. Anxiety and disappointment can be avoided easily if you do sample pieces using the same materials as the painting and varnish them, not the painting, until you get the effect you wanted. Water-based varnishes are tricky to apply and not removable if you dislike the effect, so we suggest they should only be used by artists who have already tried the above experiment. CHROMA SOLVENT FINISHING VARNISHES We recommend and prefer our Chroma Solvent Finishing Varnishes, because they can be used on all our Chroma paint brands, Atelier Interactive, Jo Sonja’s or Archival Oils. Application of all these varnishes is by brush (a broad house paint brush), and clean up is with mineral spirits. If applying multiple coats, allow 24 hours drying time between applications. Choose from these finishes: Gloss Solvent Finishing Varnish • Apply as is for a full gloss, usually one coat. To reduce gloss add Invisible Varnish to your taste. Try 2 parts varnish to 1 part Invisible Varnish, up to 1:1 for less sheen. NOTE: The new varnishes have an anti-mould additive which is diluted if you add turpentine, so to maintain the mould protection for tropical conditions dilute with Invisible Varnish instead.

  • Weathering Test of Coatings for Wood Panel Boards
    Proceedings of the 51st International Convention of Society of Wood Science and Technology November 10-12, 2008 Concepción, CHILE Weathering Test of Coatings for Wood Panel Boards . Rose Marie M GARAY Depto. Ingeniería de la Madera Universidad de Chile Sta. Rosa 11315,Casilla 9206 Santiago Chile ABSTRACT Protection that coating gives to wood based boards exposed to weathering, depends on multiple factors such as: substratum, application, properties of the product and conditions of weathering. The decision on the utilization of a given protector is based on requirements of use and durability. The evolution through time of the substratum- protector system is studied in long-term experimental weathering test field. Coatings in service are submitted to high and low temperatures, rain effect, solar radiation and wind, which are variable in different climatic zones, causing different effects when dampness is excessive or dryness is extreme. They are formulated for particular end-use conditions and, it is necessary to check their efficiency for the conditions that the manufacturer stipulates. In this work the behaviour in service of pigmented varnish, varnish with filter UV, insecticides and fungicides, paintings and stains, solvent-borne and water-borne, is studied These products were tested to weathering in the Metropolitan Region, Santiago, La Pintana. Tests were made according to the ASTM D D1006-73 standard. Materials for test were oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood. Evaluations are realized until 24 months of weathering. cracks, spots, erosion, discoloration, sheen, shelling, humidity absorption, and swelling in thickness were evaluated. Results indicate that none of the superficial protectors offers a completely efficient protection due to the severity of the exposition which caused visual unsightly effects such as loss of color, sheen, and fluctuations in the evaluated properties.

  • The Dirty History of Portland Harbor
    Reprinted from a 1994 publication The Dirty History of Portland Harbor hen scientists began looking closely at the sediments and at W the bottom of Casco Bay beginning in the early 1980s, they confronted a pollution puzzle. Sediments taken from various locations throughout the Bay, and especially in Portland Harbor, held a wide variety of potentially toxic chemicals. Until we know more about how these heavy metals, pesticides and other compounds affect marine life, it’s hard to know what lasting impact the pollution in Casco Bay may have. But it was decided that the more we know about where those pollutants came from, the better chances we will have in preventing future problems. The Casco Bay Estuary Project (now Casco Bay Early industry was limited by natural energy sources, like this tidal mill at Estuary Partnership) commissioned environmental Stroudwater.

Lead was also relatively high in the Portland area. Presumpscot River estuary.

  • APA Engineered Wood Construction Guide
    Engineered Wood CONSTRUCTION GUIDE Engineered Wood Construction Guide 2 WOOD The Natural Choice Engineered wood products are a good choice for the environment. They are manufactured for years of trouble-free, dependable use. They help reduce waste by decreasing disposal costs and product damage. Wood is a renewable, recyclable, biodegradable resource that is easily manufactured into a variety of viable products. A few facts about wood. ■ We’re growing more wood every day. Forests fully cover one-third of the United States’ and one-half of Canada’s land mass. American landowners plant more than two billion trees every year. In addition, millions of trees seed naturally. The forest products industry, which comprises about 15 percent of forestland ownership, is responsible for 41 percent of replanted forest acreage. That works out to more than one billion trees a year, or about three million trees planted every day. This high rate of replanting accounts for the fact that each year, 27 percent more timber is grown than is harvested. Canada’s replanting record shows a fourfold increase in the number of trees planted between 1975 and 1990. ■ Life Cycle Assessment shows wood is the greenest building product. A 2004 Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM) study gave scientific validation to the strength of wood as a green building product. In examining building products’ life cycles – from extraction of the raw material to demolition of the building at the end of its long lifespan – CORRIM found that wood was better for the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, global warming potential, air emissions, water emissions and solid waste production.

  • Willow Types & Preserving Sculpture 2020
    Commercial Willow Types Brown Willow is natural green willow that has been dried with its bark on. Once dried the willow looks olive green to greyish-brown in colour and is suitable for basketry, outdoor sculpture work and hurdles as it has an outer skin for protection. As a rule of thumb, to make it pliable for weaving, soak brown willow in cold water for at least a day per foot, e.g. a 5ft bundle will need 5 days soaking time and then mellow it. i.e. wrap it in a damp cloth and keep in a cool place for about a day before using. Brown rods will keep flexible for a week or so be- fore going out of condition. _____________ Steamed Willow is natural green willow that has been steamed in a boiler for several hours. This process re- leases the tannins in the willow which help to preserve it and stains the willow bark a chocolate to black colour. The bark remains on, protecting the willow from the elements, so making it ideal for outdoor sculptures and structures. Steamed willow requires about 1/2 a day soaking per foot, so 5ft lengths will need about 2 ½ days soaking time. Again mellow the willow for a day or so prior to using and the rods will keep for a few days or so before going out of condition. When soaked Brown & Steamed Willow are nearly flexible enough to use they can also be ‘finished’ by steam- ing for about an hour. Wrap the willow tightly in a plastic tarp and using a diy wallpaper steamer, (having re- moved the wallpaper head attachment), steam for about an hour and then mellow.
