fer is the first coming to our atten-
ton that is reasonable enough in
cost to appeal to householders
rather than professional painters.
1t costs $1095 complete with COM
pressor, half-pint glass container,
rubber hose. small motor operating
on A. c. or D. G. cord and plug. 1t
weighs only pounds, which means
1t is not difficult for a housewife
to use.
The motor. attached to a metal
platform, stands on the floor, and
all you have to do is hold the glass
container, which is attached by the
hose, 10 feet long, to the motor;
press trigger on the container and
the paint shoots out in a small,
steady stream. You can use lacquers,
enamels, shellacs, varniShes, insec-
ticides, deodorants and moth
prooflng solutions in it, as well as
ordinary paint. 1t Is good for paint
ing furniture, too.
Asphalt for Repair Jobs.

qualities rather than as a decora-
tive finish. If a thinner coat is de-
sired for spraying, more turpentine
should be added.
There are many plastic sub
stances on the market, many as
phalt paints, but this is one of the
few products that can be either,
depending on the users skillful
hand. In its thicker consistency 1t
is fine for caulking chimneys, win
dow frames, etc. In its paintlike
consistency it will coat foundation
walls or slightly damaged roofing
shingles, and even serve as an ad-
hesive for laying linoleum.
1t costs only 25 cents a pound,
which makes half gallon of caulk-
ing compound or two quarts of as
phalt paint.

Removing Old Paint
Essential for Good
Redecorating Job
Softener May Be Used
To Prepare Surfaces
For New Coating
By DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Half the battle in redecorating
walls and woodwork is removing old
paint before applying new. ANY,
thing that makes 1t easier to pre-
pare a surface for shining new
coat of paint should be welcomed
at this time of the year, when
readying the home for fall and win
ter is uppermost in many minds.
A versatile product has been
called to our attention in connec-
ton with removing old paint,
enamel, varnish, wax, furniture
polish, etc. 1t is a paint, varnish
and lacquer softener which is ap-
piled to walls, woodwork and floors.
1t softens the old coating quickly,
so it is easily sandpapered to make
a good foundation.
The ingredients of the remover
are the secret of its makers, of
course, but they assure us 1t is not
potent enough to injure hands, not
messy. not harmful to the ingredi-
ents of any new coating you may
Evening star., 1941-08-16

use. You Just apply it to the old
surface with a brush, then rub the
surface with a coarse sandpaper
while still damp, without rinsing. 1t
dries readily, and what remains Of
the old coating will brush off with
dry cloth.
SmoOthS Cracked Enamel.
Besides being useful for removing
old paint, this liquid may be en-
ployed for smoothing Clipped and
scaling enamel. Something all you
need is a light coat of it, a light
sandpapering and your enameled
haseboards and window frames are
smooth and clean enough to do
without a new coat Of enamel.
1t also may be used as a bleach.
An extra coat over wood stain, with
strenuous sanding Immediately.
lightens and smooths the surface
for immediate refinishing. Note:
This isn't the bleaching indicated
for blond" effects; merely light
ening-up process if you want to
refinish with a paler tone than you
had on stained and vanished sur
faces not treated with aniline stains.
The makers say that the remover
also will smooth concrete paints,
neutralize alkali and clean shell
lacked or waXed floors. In the case
of floors, pour some of the remover
into a deep pan and use a cloth,
squeezed out, to wipe over an area
of about half a square yard, wiping
in the direction the flooring is laid.
Do the floor section by section, let it
dry about Is minutes, and you can
rewax it without reshellacking, If
you wish.
Oh, yes, one more use: 1t softens
hardened paint brushes.
The remover costs about $3.50
gallon, which is enough to con-
dition" enamel on 1000 square feet
of wall and woodwork; 1900 square
feet of shellacked floor or about
600 feet of concrete enamel.

Good Putty Is Importont

The Importance OF using good
putty in connection with painting
Job cannot be overstressed. Low
grade putty lacks durability and is
likely to fall out and ruin the glaz-
ing Job. Inferior putty also may
have a tendency to "bleed" through

and leave an ugly yellow stain. In
purchasing putty be sure to get the
very best quality that is available.
