It is recommended to use woodworking glue (D2 or D3) for fastening. After light sanding and dust removal, apply a thin, even layer of glue to the back of the carving and the receiving surface. Clamp the two surfaces together or press with weights until dry. If any glue seeps out, we recommend wiping it with a slightly damp cloth to avoid complications later. For safety, it is advisable to wait for full drying, which may take 12 to 24 hours. Small brad nails can also be used for reinforcement when attaching carved ornaments, countersunk below the wood and covered with filler. This ensures secure and lasting attachment during restoration.
Carved ornaments UK can be painted in several ways. If you paint it in color, the wood’s color and grain will not show through. They can be stained, in which case the wood’s character and original pattern remain visible depending on the tint used. Lacquering creates a hard, clear or tinted protective layer on the wood surface, which does not penetrate like a stain does. This layer excellently protects against scratches, wear and moisture, but if damaged, it can peel or crack. When restoring antique furniture, lacquer makes the wood grain visible but gives a shinier, more decorative effect than stain. Finally, oiling also highlights the wood grain.
