New Wood Finish
Used Successfully
In Renovutions
By HILSON MUNSEY.

There is a manufacturer who spe-
cializes in wood finishes for both
plywood and solid wood. This is
especially interesting to any one
who is turning the cellar into a
game room, or is building additional
living space into the attic. The
trend today seems to be toward
the blond effect, and very satisfac-
tory bleaching compound can be
bought so that wood that has been
stained previously to a dark shade
can be brought back and finished
in a light color Even walnut can
be treated with this preparation.
The wood can be finished with an
applica ton OF preparation that
protects the wood and produces a
natural, soft. satiny effect instead
of the more artificial look Of shellac
or varnish. Various kinds OF stains
also are made to At the different
kinds of woods. For Douglas fir ply
wood a special finish is required to
prevent the grain from showing
through when the surface is painted.
It Is useful before staining f1r.
It also can be used successfully on
cypress, ponderosa pine and yellow
pine. 1t will not only hide the
grain of the wood. but the paint
that is applied over 1t will dry
quicker, an advantage when doing
interior work.
This same company also makes
paste wood filler. fiat finish varnish,
waterproof varnish for exterior fin
ishes and q floor sealer that pene-
trates and acts as binder for the
wood fibers.

New Furniture Packing
Becomes Furniture Itself

At the summer national home
furnishing market held last month
in Chicago. new features included
furniture and bedding packed into
cartons so that the cartons them
sevles became additional furniture
when the unit was unpacked.
One manufacturer brought out a
mahogany chest with five drawers
The container for the chest was con-
vertible into four other pieces of
furniture. Pull out a couple of
shelves and you have secretary
bookcase. When legs are screwed on
other portions, you have a coffee
tables and two tables.
These pieces can be mounted or
demounted quickly and they can be
painted to suit color schemes. An
other example of wartime conser-
vation was crate holding . box
spring and mattress, which could
become a bed, to be covered or
painted to suit individual taste.

Suggestions Offered
To Overcome Shortage
Of Materials

It's still possible to brighten your
home despite wartime material and
labor shortages. The recipe is: Take
the odds and ends you already have.
add a dash of ingenuity, and spread
literally with gay new paint colors.
Paint stocks at local stores are still
fairly complete.
For example, you can transform
old m-parlor chairs and
tables into gay terrace or lawn fur
niture by enameling each piece q
different color An old wagon wheel
sawed in half and a few odd boards
can quickly be made into bright
lawn settee. A nail keg and a saw
buck can be combined into q clever
porch flower box.
Scratched and dingy doors, re-
finished in a bright color and dec
Grated with decalcomanias or stem
cils. will give your whole house a
lift. A painted picture frame around
an uninteresting bedroom window
makes it sudden center of interest
Matching bright colors for valances
and table tops produce an atmo-
sphere of newness and gayety
Painted wooden enclosures offer a
perfect solution to that unsightly
radiator problem.
Still another simple paint-brust
miracle is the reclama ton of attic
furniture. A wooden chest painted

Luminescent coatings have been
used on dials, charts, advertising

blackouts are creating a much more
general interest on the part OF
building owners and managers in
the extended practical use of these
coatings to help to prevent acci-
dents during blackouts.
Some types of luminescent coat
ings are quite permanent, especially
when used indoors, without exposure
to direct sunlight. For exterior use
such as indicating the location OF
stairways, curb lines, etc, expert
ments have indicated that lumineS-

pigments, properly formulated, may

types are quite durable when used
