The letter introduced to the SUBJ

Such a letter coming from a re-

Ordinary Tin Foil Can Be Used
To Repair Mirror Surface
By Douglas Tuomey

The resilvering of a mirror is
a job for a professional who has
the skill and the equipment for
handling metallic coatings. But
"a substitute for the professional
job can be turned out by the
average person.
To do this work properly, the
back of the looking glass is re-
mov0i and the glass set face-down
on a table. The parts of the back
which have been scratched or 9TH
erwiSe damaged so that the silver
ing is missing. are cleaned very
carefully with cotton.
When the glass is clean, a piece
of ordinary tin foil is laid over
sthe damaged area and overlapping
sthe edges of the defective spot.
SThe foil must be clean and we'll
|rolled or ironed out so that there
sare no folds or creases in it.
The next step is to apply coat
.of white shellac and allow it to
dry thoroughly. This should take
a half-hour. After this, a second
and then a third coat are applied
with plenty of drying time be-
tween them.
The results should. be excellent
and. while not entirely up to the
costly job of actual resilvering.
it will hide the bad spots to an
acceptable degree.
A coat of Shellac over the entire
back after the repair has been
made will go far toward prevent
ing future deterioration of the
silvering.
People who like mirrors will find
that this system enables them to
put back in service those which
have been removed from the wall
rending repair.
While the back is off the mirror,
1t is a good idea to dust out and
clean the inside of the frame, as
dust accumulation often clouds a
mirror around the edge.
A further aid is to paste a sheet
OF paper over the entire back,
including the back of the frame,

necessary for the complete re-
moval Of the stain. Should the
discoloration be caused by copper,
make a paste Of one part sal
|ammoniac and four parts Of
powdered whiting and moisten
with household ammonia. When
dry, brush of the powder and re-
peat If necessary.

Question: Can you please tel
me how I can cover three badly
nicked kitchen doors with hard
fiber board or plywood? I have
heard 1t has been done, but as
yet have never seen any.
Answer: The hicks in the doors
can be filled with wood putty
which you can get at the local
paint store. When it dries hard,
smooth the patch with fine sand
paper. wipe off the dust and
paint the door in the usual man
ner. If. however, you wish to
cover the doors with the hard
fiber board or plywood, the mould
ings around the panels will have
to be removed. and the wallboard
