HOW TO PAINT THAT CONCRETE FLOOR
by Theodore Crane
THIS WEEK MAGAZINE
bv Theodore Crane
Professor Of Architectural Engineering, YoIe University

Multiplying by two, to allow tor the
two coats, gives you two hundred
elghty-elght square feet. Since the
covering capacity is only approximate,
you'd better buy one gallon of pant,
or enamel, and quart of turpentne.
This will leave you plenty of leeway,
and there should be enough turpen-
tine left over to wipe up spots and
clean hands and brush after the job
is done. The only other thing needed
is a vardish brush about four inches
wide.
You should pick a clear, sunny day;
warm, dry weather is best and in case
of ram, cover any exposed work for a
few hours until the paint has hard
ened
To start off with, open the can and
pour off about one-quarter of its con-
tents into some other contaner.
myself use the bottom of an old double
boiler. Stir the remainder to uniform
consistency and then slowly add the
contents of the double boiler. Pouring
the mixture from one contalner to the
other five or six times will help. Then,
leaving about a quart of paint in the
double boiler, add the recommended
amount of turpentine and stir it in.
1t is best to start work at one end
of the porch, painting a strip about

by painting over it upon resumlng'
When you inspect the floor the fol-
lowing day there will probably be a
few fiat spots where the paint seems
to have sunk into the concrete more
deeply than elsewhere, These are
extra-porous areas and should be
gwen an intermediate coat.
With your final coat, follow the
same procedure as with the first. But
remember to use the paint or enamel
without diluting it. 1t is also a
good idea to carry through in one
operation In any case, you can do
the entire job over a week end by
getting the first coat on Friday eve
ming, touching up the dull spots Satur-
day afternoon, and putting on the
finish coat Sunday afternoon.

1UST because concrete dOeSn' t have
to be painted, many people fail
to realize how much porch or
basement floor can be improved by an
appropriate color. Actually concrete
can be painted just as easily as wood
but there are few simple precautions
that must be followed to make the job
successful
Let's take typical case: you have
porch floor that is in good shape but
Just PLAN. untreated concrete.
The first thing you should do is give
the floor a thorough dry broOmlng
If there are any wax, grease or oil
spots, clean them off with mixture
of turpentlne and benzine in equal
parts. As soon as the floor is dry you
are ready to start painting.
For work over concrete. painters
used to recommend a preliminary
mop application of zinc suiphate
solution - three pounds dissolved IN
one gallon of warm water - to neu-
tralze any free lime in the cement;
but this is not necessary II you use the
new concrete pants or enamels now
on the market
The floor must, however, be dry
and thoroughly hardened - not less
than two months old Furthermore, |
would not recommend painting or
enamellng any concrete floor, such as
Evening star., 1938-08-21

that of basement or cellar, that
occasionally becomes damp from
ground water because moisture from
beneath causes most finishes to flake.
From your local paint dealer you
can buy excellent paints or enamels
IN many attractive colors, but you
must, of course. choose a type manu-
featured especially for concrete sur
faces. You'll need two coats for a
satisfactory appearance. You can use
the same paint for each coat but the
directions printed on the can will
probably recommend that the first
coat be thinned with about onequar-
ter part turpentine,
The exact amount of paint you'll
need will depend upon the poroslty of
the surface One gallon should cover
something better than two hundred
and fifty square feet on the first coat
and about three hundred and fifty
on the second coat. Let's take an
average of three hundred square feet
per gallon and throw in the turpentine
for good luck
You measure the area Of the porch
floor with a yardstick - its, say,
eight feet wide and eighteen feet long;
one hundred forty-four square feet.

narrow dimension of the floor use a
rather full brush, applying the paint

WILMINGTON, N. c., Dec. g.
The touchdown-hungry North Caro-
lima State Wolfpack closed its foot
ball season here today by coming
from behind to beat a fighting
Citadel eleven, IA to s, on a wet
field. A crowd Of more than 5000
saw the game.
The Citadel scored in the second
quarter. A beautiful quick-kick by
Graham Edwards forced State deep
into its territory. After Artie
Rooney punted out, Edwards COM
pleted three passes to advance the
Cadets from the State SO to the II.
The Cadets suffered a 5-yard pen
atty and then Bob David. on a per-
fectly executed end-around play,
raced % yards oil his right end to
score. David missed his try for
point from placement.
The Wolfpack, held scoreless since
October %, finally broke loose in
the last half.
A punt try by Edwards, which was
blocked by States star tackle, Ed
Coon, and recovered by Mickey Sui
Ivan at the Citadel rs, set up the
first Wolfpack touchdown. Rooney
scored on a 1-yard smash at right
guard and State went ahead, Z to 6,
as Bobby Sabolyk converted from
placement.
The Wolfpack sewed up things in
the last quarter, after Rooney ran
a punt back GA yards to the Citadel
16. Line plays made first down,
then on fourth down Andy Pavlov-
sky smashed a needed yard at right
guard for the touchdown. Sabolyk
again converted.

the starting backfield. II it's muddy
at the start, Frank Filchock and
George Karamatic will be in there.
The makeup of the rest Of the
team. including the entire line, is
problematical, as is the question Of
how long they'll stay in there once
the game gets under way. Recently,
I've been withdrawing the starting
forwards and inserting a completely
fresh line after a quarters play, but
I'm going to depart somewhat from
that tomorrow.
In other words, any of our play
ers will remain in there as long
as they play good football. It's our
aim to keep the strongest possible
unit, man for man, on the field at
all times. I know that we've got
80 good football players and the
ones that are playing the best to-
morrow will be the ones found
playing the longest.
Commends Pinckert's Spirit.
Erny Pinckert exhibited the kind
of spirit tonight that I hope is
characteristic of the whole Redskin
squad. He actually came to me and
asked me to let him play despite
the knowledge that he has Clipped
vertebrae. Much as we'd like to
have Erny in there, I had to refuse
his request for his own welfare.
I might add that Pinckert is the
kind who never complains, so when
he went to Roy Baker on Wednes-
day night, asking him to rub his
neck, we knew something was
wrong. Well miss him on the field,
but perhaps his never-say-di spirit
will prove just as helpful on the
bench.
