Falu Red

[biffvernon]

I used to know but they seem to have disappeared; does anyone know of a UK supplier of Falu Red paint?

Not sure Biff, but I believe you can buy Falun red as a powder for you to mix up with water and linseed oil to make the paint. That may make it cheap enough to ship from Sweden economically.

That's anew one on me Biff. I'm going to keep up with this topic until we get an answer..

So there you are, Biff. Now you know exactly where in Patagonia you can buy it.

slightly crazy idea but if you get in trouble, we're in Sweden for Christmas, it might be possible to pick up some powder or paint depending on the quantity required

Swedish Christmas is magical - you'll need to hurry if you're going to be there in time for Santa Lucia. It's a charming ceremony (so long as the lead girl doesn't set her hair on fire), which celebrates the old date of Christmas in Sweden (13th December).

Thanks, I shall enquire of the good folk at Unit 1, 33 Waterson Street, London E2, before trying Patagonia or your kind offer, Steveb.

Having now established a supply (and the price!), next question is has anyone any experience in using the stuff?
