We didn't see coverage of the actual blessing by Pope Francis (today) but we did see that the statue (with the crown and with the gold heart we produced in this video) was prominently visible at the right side of the sanctuary during the Papal mass in Edmonton! Many smiles here today!
Thanks - at last i have removed all the old think paint as it was all mouldy now it the bare plaster now fixing up with plaster sanding it then it choosing what paint the so many
Getting rid of the mould was a very good idea. It would definitely go on to destroy the bond inside the plaster so you are doing it right..Even though it is much more work. That way you are doing a proper restoration. Good luck with it. 👍
Hello Paul. Sorry for the late reply. Depending on how thick the paint is or if there are multiple coats of paint, you could try using a nontoxic non-chemical paint remover. Avoid anything too harsh and don’t apply too much of it because liquid will soak into the plaster. If you are going to be repainting the statue, as long as the paint is smooth and not chipped or bubbly, you should be able to just gently sand the surface of it to remove any sheen and then apply a good primer and latex or acrylic paint. Hope this helps.
