Example of injection to a slot, during a Seminar

Chudleigh, Manor House - the ancient timber lintol across the sitting room fireplace had been eaten out by a combination of Wet Rot and Insect Attack due to the one end being embedded in an earth retaining solid wall. The lintol was removed for repair, although this was not really necessary - it could have been repaired in-situ. Moulding Mortar was used to remake the shape, to match the other end and when re-installed, the Moulding Mortar was sanded and artistically stained to replicate the patina of the original.

Stain Kits are available at £65.
