Paint Effects by SJB

We have just added a page and additional pictures to the website of SJB Fine Finishes.

SJB do specialist painting: murals, faux wood grain, furniture painting, etc. They can make a room look like it's panelled with wood!

The new pictures include the angel on the Wimbledon Theatre which they gilded and it looks stunning.

Metal Free Dentistry

Dr Tom Nyerges makes a very good point on his new webpage about metal free dentistry.

"It is curious that it is against the law to paint your house with a paint containing higher than a certain level of mercury, or a factory may be immediately shut down for exceeding a certain level of mercury vapour in the air, yet it is considered perfectly fine for a dentist to place a material in your teeth that can create potentially far greater mercury levels in your mouth!"
