Are you ready for winter?
I ask this
because if you live in the Northern Hemisphere like me, then you'll know just
how cold it gets.
If you are
lucky enough to have your own; workshop, then it's really - important; to
ensure that it's heated sufficiently during the worst of the winter months.
Why I hear
you ask? Well, if your workshop is too cold, then you will notice; that when
you are French polishing, a milky white ghosting effect appears on the
surface, then this becomes very problematic and difficult to put right.
To avoid
this happening, what I do, is to place my French polish bottle with the top
off; stand the bottle in warm water as this will increase the polish
temperature sufficiently enough that the chilling won't take place.
Of course,
this won't help if your workshop is still cold; it’s better before starting the
day's work you heat the premises to an acceptable level.
With my
workshop, I have been out there when it's been dreadful; cold, therefore to
rectify this problem I, purchased insulating panels to stick onto the walls
with PVA glue that did not melt the insulating material as other Glues had
done.
After
this, I fitted plywood over the insulating sheeting that increased the heat
loss tremendously.
Most of
the heat escapes through the roof; this; would be problematic to deal with, so
I have not insulated it.
I am sure
that some; of you have seen pictures of me working in my converted
garage/Workshop.
Well, I
hope that this will give you good advice to improve the environment in which
you work. Let me know in the comments
section below if you have or are experiencing any of these problems?
I could
show you some pictures of my workshop due to how untidy it is just now it will
have to wait for another day.
Thanks for
your attention it's; much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew.
