Decisions have consequences.
As per the other thread I painted by pay window tops with anti-climb paint to prevent the lead being stolen.
Now my window cleaner is reporting that there is are small amounts of sticky residue (really just a texture and a slight blackening) appearing on my "oak-grain" upvc windowsills, where rain is picking up something from the (Blackfriars) anti-climb paint. This is 6 weeks later,
I think I need three things:
1 - A cleaner to get this contaminant off. Any recommendations?
2 - Perhaps a coating - a barrier cream for upvc - so that it can be cleaned more easily. Again - recommendations are welcome. Would I want something like polyurethane or a physical barrier?
3 - Any indication if this is likely to continue long term.
It is not a huge problem (my frames are fortunately not white), and a spring clean post-winter would probably do the job, but I need to be able to clean it back should I ever sell it.
This might argue for fibreglass over the lead rather than anti-climb paint if anyone else does this.
Thanks
