You can use warm water mixed with an aquafier, like wallpaper remover, to help loosen the distemper paint from the surface, If you are planning on repainting though, a sealer would be more effective prior to painting.

What is distemper paint?

Distemper paint is formed by mixing whiting (fine chalk), hide derived glue, water and pigment. Soft distemper as it is called is applied warm onto internal wall or ceiling surfaces and produces a durable soft sheen finish which tightens as it cools. It is both a paint and if mixed stiffer a form of filler. Traditionally this was used as the finish for lime and earthen plaster. Many people have a low opinion of distemper paint as they see it as dusty and flakey. However the paint may well be over a hundred years old by this point so it is to be expected that it is showing signs of age. The process for preparing distemper is to soak crystals of hide glue in a measured quantity of water overnight. This is then warmed just before use in a water bath or heated glue pot (much as you would melt chocolate in a bowl sitting in water) The whiting is then gently and gradually stirred in to avoid lumps forming. Pigment can also be added at this point. Once prepared the mixture can be adjusted to produce a more liquid mix or a more chalky mix by adding a little more of the relevant material. Measures should be used so that once the correct quantities have been established they can be repeated consistently. lebretontraditional.co.uk


How to scrap metal on a motor vehicle?

You would want to separate the metals before selling to a scrap dealer to get maximum amount of money. If you just turn in a car to be scrapped in Europe they just run the whole car through a giant grinder and separate the metals and plastic that way. In North America the process is similar but not so centralized.


How are particle accelerators used to synthesize elements?

What essentially happens is two nuclei of two different (or the same) elements are smashed together; sometimes (although rarely) parts of the nuclei will stick together instead of getting obliterated or shot out. It is through this process that particle accelerators are used to create elements; however, it is worth noting that these elements are unstable due to the nucleus's atomic radius being to large; it will be greater than the range of the residual strong force.

Residual risk in rm process?

Residual risk in the risk management process refers to the level of risk that remains after all mitigation measures and controls have been implemented. It acknowledges that while risks can be reduced, they cannot be entirely eliminated. Organizations must assess and monitor these residual risks to ensure they are within acceptable limits and are prepared to respond if they materialize. Effective communication about residual risks is crucial for informed decision-making and strategic planning.


What does residual risk mean in the CRM process?

What is residual solvent?

Residual solvent refers to any solvent that remains in a substance after the manufacturing process has been completed. This can be a concern in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, or cosmetics, as residual solvents can potentially pose health risks if consumed or applied to the body. Regulations and guidelines exist to limit the amount of residual solvents allowed in products to ensure safety.
