It's about time exhibition
opens in Skipton
An exhibition charting the history of timekeeping is being staged at the Craven Museum and Gallery in Skipton, Yorkshire.
Wooden mantel clocks were produced in various styles and made from many different woods. In order to keep them in good condition they must be kept clean and free from dirt. Horological solvents produce a safe non-solvent cleaner suitable for use on French polished, varnished and even plastic finishes which efficiently removes grime, wax and grease etc. The cleaner even works well on slate clocks, cleaning and producing a polished finish.
