Goodbye Old Paint :
What to do with an old house with the
new rules of Paint
By The Paint Spot of Cromwell
For years, caretakers of old houses have feared rumors that a day was coming where oil based paints would be no more due to government regulations. After more than 300 years, oil-based paints can no longer be manufactured in the United States and those with old houses, covered with centuries of old paint, must find new ways to deal with paint. The staff of the Paint Spot will discuss the various issues associated with old paint and offer suggestions for the future care of old houses.
