When it comes to us refurbishing an Oast Cowl, the only way we can do a proper job is to get it down and back to our workshop. We then carefully begin to check the Cowl over, looking for any rotten boards or anything untoward within its main structure (Bottom curb, backbone and head). The paintwork then gets sanded back to bare wood, before being placed inside or special drying room. Once inside the drying room any unwanted moisture is removed from the Cowl. Once the cowls are dry, we then set about any repairs that are needed before moving on to the final stage, the paintwork. We have used many different paints and different products over the years, and we now are set with our own special paint system, that stands up to all the vast arrays of weather your Cowls have to put up with.
