Objectives

Georgian run in-situ cornice prepared for the application of distemper – rabbit-skin glue and whiting – chalk.

Purpose

  • Energy and moisture
  • Hygroscopicity and thermodynamics
  • Research and performance

 



Audit

Pending – identifying the Smögåsbord of inappropriate materials.

Caulking

Check tracks, remove lumps and fill hollows.

Fine Lime Plaster – Baumit Kalkin Glätt, rubbed back with 120 grit on the walls.

Putty – Hodgson multipurpose, cured with whiting (chalk) if necessary.

 

Primer

– Blackfriar, oil-based wood primer

Undercoat

Blackfriar – oil-based undercoat

Gloss

Blackfriars – oil-based high gloss

http://www.blackfriar.co.uk/product/high-gloss-paint/

 

Glue-size

Add 100 grams of Rabbit skin glue to 1 litre of cold water – Soak for 1 hour.

Add 1 litre of boiling water – stir.

Add further boiling water (about another litre)- until the temperature reaches precisely 57 degrees Celcius.

Stand for 24 hours.

Coverage – 10 m² per litre (mixed)

 

Paste

LAP – 250 grams packed, add 5 litres of cold water. (twice that specified on the packet) Lining paper needs to soak up lots of water to stretch and then shrink tight on the wall. Paste the paper twice as well as paste the wall with this wet paste mix.

 

Lining paper

1400 grade.

Workshop

Peer to peer on-site training, practitioner support, structured tuition and open format learning.

Agenda

  • Design
  • Planning
  • Preliminaries
  • Procurement
  • Risk assessment
  • Preparations
  • Vapour capacity
  • Vapour resistance
  • Systems thinking
  • Team building

Summary

We’ll be working alongside experienced practitioners, learning how to design and plan, as well as the practical delivery.

We’ll consider the underlying objectives of the installation within the broader context of energy and moisture in the home.

We’ll look at the preparations that are required for the walls and how these affect the quality and speed of the installation.

We’ll apply glue size, lining paper, emulsion and distemper whilst understanding how these materials optimise hygrothermal capacity to manage moisture.

We’ll apply primer, undercoat, and gloss to understand how these materials optimise hygrothermal resistance to moisture at vulnerable dew points.

Lunch will be provided.

The content will be covered on days one and two, day three is optional providing an opportunity to practice, demonstrate and re-visit aspects of importance to you.

Booking

Agenda

  • Tea and biscuits
  • Demonstration
  • Q&A.

Summary

We’ll look at the underlying objectives of the installation within the broader context of energy and moisture in the home.

We’ll demonstrate the preparation and application of paper and paint, discuss the appropriate material characteristics, and how the process affects the installation’s resilience and aesthetic.
