Description

12:00 p.m. EDT 417 W. Navarre St., South Bend, IN 46616 Paint failure has become the bane of many older homes -- resulting in considerable deterioration of wood siding and windows. Come and see one of the first homes in South Bend that is returning to a historic method of painting -- using linseed oil paint in order to nourish and preserve the wood siding. Peter Wallace, the homeowner of 417 W. Navarre, and secretary of South Bend TradeWorks, leads this hands-on workshop, which offers an understanding of various methods of paint removal (including how to safely deal with lead paint), the benefits of using linseed oil paint, and tips for how to approach a project of this magnitude.
