Question: I have a wood
burning fireplace in my living
room and the wall over the fire.
place is Of brick. When plaster
ing was done on this house, the
plaster was put on directly over
the brick. This is an outside
chimney with two flues. one for
the fireplace and the other for
the furnace. Damp spots appear
on this wall and paint peels off
What can do with this?
Answer: Evidently there are
times when the brick in the CHM
ney is cold and the air in the
house warm and humid. A con-
dition of this kind would cause
condensation (sweating) to form
on the plaster. The only remedy
is to fur out the wall to create
an air space and then place lath
and plaster or gypsum wall
board (plasterboard) over the
Turing strips. I assume that
there is no leakage in the Chin
ney.
Furniture Appears Cloudy.
Question: bought some nice
furniture at an auction. The
vanished finish is smooth and
unbroken, but has a cloudy ap-
pearance. How can restore its
luster?
Answer: First, try rubbing with
a cloth wrung out in a solution
OF one quart of water and a ia
bleSpoon of cider vinegar. Rub
with the grain of the wood and
wipe off with soft, dry cloths. If
this treatment doesn't suffice, the
cloudy appearance has probably
worked its way through the fin
ish. In this case. the only an
swer is to remove the finish and
ref1nish the furniture from bare
wood. Use prepared varnish re-
mover, following directions.
Rust Spots in Wash Basin.
Question: The area around the
drain in my porcelain wash basin
has yellowish, rusty-colored spots
which can't seem to get out,
although I have scrubbed them
with a nail brush and strong
soap. Have you anything to
suggest?
Answer: Thoroughly dampen a
cloth in peroxide, spread on some
cream of tartar and over this
sprinkle securing powder. Rub
this mixture we'll into the spots
and let it remain for half an
hour. It may be necessary to
repeat the treatment.
