[BCMA] Reply to Tammy Regarding Outdoor Wood Structures

Thanks, Jennifer,

 

Someone else suggested Timbor as well; definitely going to check that out.
And I think we may have to rebuild a few pieces of it - we've had the
suggestion of saturating it with white glue and water, but that presents
some wood-preservative issues, and I'm not sure there's enough wood left in
a few places to glue together!

 

Thanks again,

 

Tammy

Hi Tammy, 

 

We have just finished a massive conservation project on a wooden structure,
so I have some knowledge on this.

 

Our conservator used a product called Timbor after carefully cleaning the
surface of the wood with small soft brushes.

>From the look of it you may want to think about trying to replace parts of
the structure, as we did.

It is possible to age the look of new wood to grey/silver. In any case, it
may be less expensive to replace than to conserve wood structures, in some
cases.

 

Hope that helps!

 

Jennifer
