Geo1 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi Does any one know how or if it is possible to turn a gauze that has been painted and fire proofed back to white as to buy new is going to cost too much money which we dont have any help would be greatly appreciated G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Extremely unlikely.And to be honest you'd probably spend more than the gauze was worth trying to achieve it. How much have you been quoted for a new gauze, and where from/what size? They aren't that expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If it has been painted with water based scene paints, not aniline dyes, and the colours aren't particularly saturated you might get away with washing it and bleaching it.Note I did say 'might'.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If it has been painted with water based scene paints, not aniline dyes, and the colours aren't particularly saturated you might get away with washing it and bleaching it.Which would very likely remove ANY fire retardent properties.....

Gerry Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 True.Perhaps I should have said "wash it, bleach it and fireproof it."Happy now CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
