Painting below zero-the Antarctic challenge

The task set was to scrape down, prepare and repaint (3coat system) a selection of exterior timber windows at Scott Base, to very strict environmental protection rules/requirements. ‘Zero Harm’ was the catchphrase. No electric tools. Temps ranged from +1ºC to -17ºC when windchill was taken into acco...
