victorian lintel
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 7:17 am
Hi, I would like to paint a victorian lintel.
Currently, the surface is uneven and the paint is flaking.
Firstly, how do I remove the old paint, it could be lead based. Scraping it off does not seem to work, will a hot air gun work on masonry?
Secondly, how do I prepare the surface for the new paint?
Many Thanks in advance.
