who asked about painting worn
linoleum. The American Home,
August, 1850, carried an article
on this on page SO. Here are the

clearer, you might find a copy
of it in your library. Scrub clean
and give floor several coats of
deck paint in a good background
color. Dry thoroughly and scrub
again. Stipple twice in two con-
trasting colors. To stipple, pour
small amount of enamel in shall
low container such as coffee can
lid, lightly dab dry sponge in
it and tap briskly to surface with
a slapping wrist motion. Do not
drag against surface. When first
color is dry, repeat with second
giving a three-color finish. When
dry, shellac and several coats OF
paste wax should make a really
durable surface. The same basic
idea should work for a spatter
finish, too. But stippling is easier
and less apt to be messy. Either
way, it is an inexpensive method
of rejuvenating your linoleum and
