Lead White will soon be nothing more than a shadow on the palettes of artists.
From Jacksons web site
"Please note that due to the ’REACH Enforcement Regulations’ lead based paints may only be purchased for the restoration or maintenance of fine or decorative works of art historic buildings or their interiors or scheduled monuments. The full text of the UK legislation is available from www.legislation.gov.uk
A declaration of use must be completed and then approved by the ‘competent body’ before we can provide you with these paints; this may take up to three weeks."
How long before other retailers put the same restriction in place I wonder?
