This nice, but i need of attention Sales man Garden bench model was mine the other day/
It was in nee of TYA TLC. It was given to me from a friend. She had cleaned it, a bit. It had lived in a damp shed for a few years.
A Meths bath to clean the metal work. All but one bolt was saved.
The Slats were left in the Vapor tank over night, dried and given a sound sanding. I wanted to bleach them a bit, but I couldn't.
No wood bleach.
Hot caustic bath to remove the paint. Modern stripper would not do a thing to it.
Good Low carbon cast iron.
Rattle can paint.
New SS M4 fixings.
Wood was finished in many coats of Local bee's wax, again from the the fruit trees wood.
