over again so they can be usedp"
Answer: No, they cannot be done
over again. Just put it down To Expert
ence, and next time follow the Cold
Pack method more closely We have
all had our little failures.
c. e: Kindly tell me what should
be done TO new hardwood foorsg"
Answer: New hardwood floors re-
quire several operations before the final
finish is complete. In such open
grained woods as oak, ash, chestnut and
birch, the foundation for the anal finish
is obtained by filling" with good
silex paste filler; this simply means APP
plying some substance TO fill up the
pores of the wood so that the whole is
. one complete, smooth surface. A good
silex filler has finely powdered needle
like quartz particles which imbed them
selves firmly in the wood. Any stain
/ ing desired, other than the shade of tn,
/ filler itself, should be done before TIN.
/ filler is put on--donc with a good ol
4 stain.
But, personally, do not like the ldeg
of staining a new hardwood floor. For
all wood floors tend to darken in time
and for this reason | think the rathe
light appearance of new floor shouIC
be endured with patience. II, after I
period OF time, the tone of the foo
