Preserve It Better: Borate Before Bandaids
Please join us for a very hands-on presentation and workshop on Borate for historic wood preservation, with Jan Scopel.
Discover the What, Why and How to use this practically forgotten family of Boron mineral compounds (borates) to preserve and protect new and not-so-new wood features of homes and historic artifacts from existing and future rot and insect damage. Jan will briefly cover some basic chemistry and the history of the uses of Borates and Glycol Borates, dive into the practical and resource saving application to new and invaluable historic wood features, provide some examples of borated wood, and demonstrate how to cook-up a batch. You will learn how to work this method into your own personal preservation or repair plan. Borate before you paint or repair!
Our presenter, Jan Scopel, is the Preservation Facility Manager, for the Chase-Lloyd House in Historic Annapolis.
Special thanks to Hayles & Howe, Ornamental Plasterers, who are our Preservation in Practice series sponsors.
