Belleauwood Posted May 13, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2011 This is a new addition to the Belleauwood Museum! - These photos are after cleaning and a liberal application of Bic No. 4. This piece was painted over the original heavy cork/sand finish and had 90 years of what appeared to be well adhered dust and grime in every nook and crevice. The Bulldog portion exhibited sever paint loss and had some loose flakes that are now somewhat stabilized with treatment. Hope you enjoy!
