Doing Il the Easy Way:
Retread Concrete
Steps for Spring
By DouqIos TuomeY

No doubt every one has noticed
how concrete steps and platforms
have been damaged by ice
choppers and sharp shovels, which
have been used to cut away &C
cumulations of ice and frozen
snow on the treads.
This damage, and the conse-
quence wearing down of the steps,
Is chiefly caused by the fact that
. depression made with a sharp
edge allows both sides of the cut
to wear down far more rapidly
than . nat surface. Steps which
have been 50 hacked away soon
"dish out" or form a shallow hol-
low In the center, which is q
further invitation for ice to form
there.
In most cases, a step which is
In this condition can be repaired
quickly and neatly by a simple
retreating process.
This job consists merely of cut
ting a one-inch deep section where
It is worn down. This requires a
sharp cold chisel and a heavy
hammer. Great accuracy or care
tul cutting is not essential, as the
entire idea is simply to get a good
rough surface with defined ends
to hold the new concrete.
When the surface is cut out far
enough, it should be thoroughly
busted on and then wetted down
heavily. This is to prevent the
old dry concrete from drawing all
the water out Of the new mix and
causing it to shrink. The next
step Is to place a board against
the front edge of the step and
secure it there so as to form an
even edge and hold the new con-
crete in place. Next, a package
Cor two or three) Of prepared
concrete is mixed with water &C
cording to the directions and
slushed into the depression. After
an hour or two this is troweled
OF to a high finish and then the
repair is covered with wet burlap
or old cloths and kept dampened
for two days. This prevents too
rapid dryout. which might cause
some shrinkage in the new
material.

I have removed the old finish from
the woodwork and would like to
refinish it as light as possible. How
can get away from the yellow
iSh cast?
ANSWER: After removing the
old finish, bleach out the wood
with a prepared wood bleach in
order to make it whittier than it is
lat present. You can then finish
with two coats of a top quality
clear varniSh. The first coat, when
hard and dry, should be rubbed
down lightly with $40 sandpaper
to dull the gloss: After wiping of
the dust, apply the final coat.
