W.$ WhIiby continued from page 5 Under those layers There are few thrills that equal the one that you experience when, as a nov- ice col lector, you bring home a paint be- daubed, dirty, probably battered, der- e I i c t p iece& fyr4itur, ignoring the gibes of neighbours and friends and the c o n cern of your family (Has Mom fl ip- p e d ? ) y ou clean it up and find thatit matches the pictures in the book and is certainly everything you hoped it would b e , a treasure for you, al though per- h a p s n ot quite a museum piece. When thi s happens al 1 the hours that you spent poring over books, trudging around an- tique shows and badgering dealers and other collectors for information will be amply rewarded. There are many recipes for re-doing oldfurniture, but the principal ingred- ient i s patience. That i t is time-consum- ing goes without saying. It can also be a satisfying part of your hobby. Removing the paint Ifyouhavenever removed paint from a p i e ce of f u r n i t ure there are a few things to know before you begin. Early paints, those that were made before lin- seed oil was used to carry the pigment, were made with buttermilk. They mixed itwith lamp black, sienna or iron oxide togetblack, brown or red. There were other colours too, but red seem s to pop up mos t often and it is just as well to learnwhether it forms the base coat on your treasure BEFORE you get out the p a i n t r e m o ver. Remember that wood pores can be opened by the solvent and i f the iron-oxide is there, the two will become "absorbed in each other ", and youwill bediscouraged by the problems thatwillpresent themselves. So, using a sm all, sharp knife, scrape away the paint on an inconspicuous corner. This wi Il allow you to see the number of paints the base coat and someth ing of the wood. I f t h e original coat of paint was not a buttermilk, then you can beginwith paint remover to loosen the layers. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK MACKAY'S T.V. & RADIO 129 BROCK ST.
