Picture Frame restoration which requires skill, patience and an eye for detail bestows a new life giving energy on the painting, drawing, photograph or etching on which the newly restored frame is mounted. Regardless of the quality or value of the artist’s creation an attractive picture frame always provides an added bonus in terms of visual appeal. The proverb stating the unlikelihood of being able to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear rings rather hollow in this context where the frame can often redeem a mediocre work of art that lacks talent and credibility with the proviso of course that the frame is of sufficient style and quality to actually enhance the overall aspect of the art work. When restoring a wooden picture frame it is essential to remove every vestige of the damaged or worn paint so that a new coat of paint will adhere effectively to a clinically clean surface, providing a smooth, lustrous professional finish – replicating as close as possible the original look. How difficult is that – you might ask? It depends on a number of frame factors including the structure, form and moulding if any. These are features that can make the restoration process more time consuming and labour intensive. The important thing is to find the best way to remove the paint with a method that is safe, effective, fast working and easy to remove with no damage to the material surface. There are a number of methods of removing the paint which are traditionally not fully satisfactory. Heating the paint in this instance could scorch and damage the frame and removing the resulting residue could take some time, neither of which would create any confidence in the process. More recently paint stripper has to some extent replaced the latter method but it also presents difficulties in terms of health issues with vapour and fumes emissions. Moreover it constitutes a laborious task to remove the resultant residue whilst requiring potentially more than one application of the solvent to remove stubborn layers of paint. Until recently there remained only one further option – use of a mechanical sander. That represents a tedious, lengthy, dusty procedure which painters find slow and uneconomical leaving them in a limbo situation where there is no fool proof method. Enter C Tec’s latest invention on to the painting and decorating scene and suddenly there is a new transformative paint remover “that does what it says on the tin”.
