Introduction 

Welcome to the page dedicated to your Restoration Project Module.

As you only have 3hrs per week practical class and no theory class I will use this online learning platform to show you any material related to your research and work. 

I want this module to be a fun module. Yes! lets have lots of learning along the way but I want you to enjoy the work that you carry out during this module. Research and experimentation is going to play a very important factor in this module along side the practical element of it so use the tools that I have already given you to look for Books, Videos, Articles Data sheets etc. on restoration and repairs.

Surface Finishes  

Below you will find the Power Point Presentations that I showed you in class. Watch the many videos to gain knowledge on surface preparation and the many different dyes, stains finishes etc.   

Surface Preparation is very important

French Polishing  

Getting a glass like finish using sanding and paste - A lot of time and effort 

Getting a glass like finish using Epoxy Resin -  Liquid Glass much easier
