Subject:Chinese Wedding Chest - 'painters filling' and new paint
Posted By: Niels Aabye Madsen Sat, Jul 14, 2018 IP: 2a00:7660:6ae:0:b530
I have a question to old Chinese ‘painters fillings’. I am trying to restore an old chemise weeding chest and have encountered a small problem. Just below the old pain is a layer of what I think is ‘painters fillings’ or putty. When I remove it, it turns into dust. Is this true – is it a kind of filling or something else ???
The paint is, I guess, in fact wax and is very sticky and the chest has a very bad smell – any recommendation to what kind of paint I should use to make a nice finish and preferably also can encase the bad smell ???
