Clay flue liners are hollow, rectangular tiles that are stacked up and mortared together inside of a chimney. They provide a smooth surface over which smoke can move easily as it rises up the chimney. Without a flue liner, smoke is more likely to leave deposits of creosote on the inside brick surface of the chimney, creating a fire hazard. Over time or as a result of damage, clay flue liners can deteriorate and break, and require replacement.
A truss plate is made of metal or plywood and is used to hold the connecting boards in the truss together. You can purchase metal truss plates from your local hardware supply store or you can build your own. To build your own truss plate, cut a 1/4-inch piece of plywood to fit each connection so it covers at least 1 foot of each member. The truss plate is then nailed in place using 6d nails.

The trick is to be gentle and take your time when removing the latex paint and to also understand that some damage may still occur to the varnish.
