| It's the second time apparently, and there was an apparent reason the first time http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=139866 Hob - "If this stone painting behaviour gets much more prevalent, there's going to be sufficient cause for to someone to develop a reproducible method of paint removal." Yes. EH have some limited guidelines, and Rollrights seem to be being dealt with drawing on EH's Avebury experience, but paints and rocks all vary. I haven't been able to find any body of knowledge on graffitti removal from ancient stones anywhere, and there's a case for a research project and consultation with paint manufacturers and the development of more informed responses. Lichen is an added complication and I've joined a world lichenologists newsgroup to ask about their thoughts on lichen-friendly removal techniques. My Saturday nights are now scintillating. My instinct is that especially in cases where lichen isn't involved then time is of the essence and the paint could be more easily removed when still wet. Extra time could be bought by covering the stone with plastic to stop it drying out. Reply | with quote |  30th September 2004ce 08:13 In reply to: Re: paint (goffik) |
