hoverfrog Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 can I liberally paint that smelly stuff (the name escapes me...) that we sprayed the loft with on the underside of furniture to prevent woodworm?I'm particularly concerned about an Ercol table and chairs, but don't want to ruin the varnish (any more than 3 years in the barn has done!)I treated an ocasional table about 10 years ago in the UK, and was somewhat perturbed to find it coming away in bits - with the tell-tale french voracious woodworm holes, when I tried to move it to put the xmas decorations up!

Gluestick Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have treated all of my French antique furniture underneath and backs and even the inside of old oak with Xolophene (the nasty smelly stuff) with no ill effects.[IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Michaeleff/PicturesHouseFrance0007.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Michaeleff/PicturesHouseFrance0001.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Michaeleff/PicturesHouseFrance0002.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i278/Michaeleff/PicturesHouseFrance0006.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoverfrog Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 ah, thanks for that.Yes, it was xylophene I was thinking of!Not that a circa 1950 oak Ercol set has anything on your antiques, but I can hear Mum turn in her grave every time I see the state of it in the barn and really want to get it inside!
