Question: What can be done
ito closet-wall that keeps sweat
ing? This is a cold wall. and part
|of the ceiling. ] have used a raois-
lture-absorber, but it doesn't help
much. What causes this and how
can it be<corrected?
Answer: A second moisture
absorber would probably help.
However. the trouble is due to the
warm, humid air of the ncuse con-
densing on the cold surface of the
wall. The thing to do is to put
up insulating board On Turing
strips. allowing an air space of
two inches. If the closet is too
small for this. it would even nelp
to nail the board directly on the
closet walls, although the other
method is preferable.
Another thing to try is to put
"a low-watt electric bulb on a
stand and place it on the floor of
the closet. being very careful not
to let it touch anything that
might burn. Be careful of a fire
hazard! The slight heat of the
bulb should dry up much If the
moisture.
Paint Over Calcimine.
Question: The plastered living
room walls were calcimined. Not
knowing what the original paint
was. ! applied a good grade fiat,
oil base, wall paint. Now in many
spots the paint blisters and peels
right down to the plaster. I am
ready to repaint. but am not sure
OF what steps to take. What
should I do?
Answer: Your problem is to re-
move. all the paint and calcimine
down to the plaster. You might be
able to take off most of this with
a wide blade putty knife. What
remains can be softened with a
strong solution of trisodium phos-
phate or washing soda - three
pounds to the gallon of hot water
Apply the solution on the paint.

Answer: Remove the enamel and
