Clean Surface, Right Paint Will Give
A Good Paint job

with pleasing and satisfactory effect.
White (bleacheO shellac can be used
for finishing light-colored wood where
you want to avoid darkening the sur
face. But this isn't generally as salts
factory as a good varnish because of
its brittleness and poor resistance to
some liquids, especially alcohol. Though
white shellac is considerably lighter in
color than orange shellac, it's not so
colorless as you might expect from the
name.
Stains are often used in clear finish
ing to intensity or modify the original
color of the wood. Obtain the non-bleed-
ing, Oil-type stains in cherry, light oak,
dark oak, mahogany and walnut. Or
you can prepare good stains of this type
by mixing colors-in-oil with a liquid
made up of one part raw linseed oil,
one part turpentine and one-half part
drier. Use about one gallon of this liquid
with one-half pint of color-in-oil.
Make trial mixtures to find just the
right color because of variations in
color and intensity of pigments. Raw
sienna and ochre are the basic pig
ments for light oak; a mixture of burnt
lumber and Van Dyke brown for wal
nut; burnt sienna and ochre for cherry,
and just burnt sienna for mahogany.
Floor sealer is a special type of var
nish for penetration into the wood 1t
leaves a thin but durable coating on
the surface. Where you use this type of
floor treatment, worn areas in traffic
lanes are less prominent than where a
thicker coating of regular varnish is
applied. Federal specifications are
TT-S-176, Type 1 for oak, Type II for
maple and birch.
Paste wood filler, Federal Specifica-
ton TT-F-336a, is used for treating
open-grained wood such as oak before
the sealer is applied. Federal Specifica-
ton TT-S-171 covers a special lacquer
type floor sealer used for sealing before
vanishing floors that have been oil
treated. The lacquer sealer prevents
the oil from being taken up by the finish
ing coat.
Waxing is good practice for protect
ing clear-finished surface and also
improves appearance. Use polishing
type wax for trim; an inexpensive no
buffing treatment is satisfactory for
floors. The polishing-type wax may be
either liquid or paste; the latter is a
water-emulSion wax.
SOftwood Floors
Don't expect the usual pigmented
paints to last well in traffic lanes. Lin
seed oil paints. though durable under
severe exterior conditions, aren't salts
factory for softwood floors.
Get porch and deck paint from a
reliable source. This paint is made up
from tough medium or long oil var
niSh vehicle for best wearing qualities
and good resistance to moisture. 1t dries
hard in few hours and is best for both
interior and exterior steps and floors
made of softwood.
Concrete Floors
Decorative painting of concrete floors
generally isn't satisfactory. Rapid wear
soon removes the paint where travel is
concentrated Who,, Jox,;,,r, :, nov, eIoo,-

certain job. Should you use a different
paint for wood trim from that used on
plastered walls? Will some kinds of
finishes withstand cleaning and scrub
bling better than others? These and
other questions are common to many
of us.
Good paint consists of an oil or bind
ing liquid tvehicle) and mixed with a
pigment which may be either dry or
paste form. In general, the liquid in
good paints is largely made of oils.
Cheaper and less durable paints are
known as water paints, since the liquid
is mainly or entirely water.
The solid, finely divided part of the
paint (pigment) gives it the power to
obscure or hide and color a surface. So
if the paint is to do good job of hiding
and cOloring the surface, the pigment
should be opaque in oil. Some pigments,
though opaque in dry form, are nearly
transparent in oil.
Some augmented paints for interior
use are made with quick-drying We
hicles such as varnish or a mixture of
varnish with boiled or heat-bodied lin
seed oil. Synthetic resin paints (alkyds)
permit faster application, form smooth
er films that hold their color better, are
easier to clean and withstand washing
better than the soft linseed oil liquids
used in exterior wood paints.
A semi-gloSs finish generally is pre-
ferred for interior woodwork and walls.
If you want to obtain a standard prod
uct of the synthetic resin type, ask for
an interior semi-gloss enamel covered
by Federal Specification TT-508. You
can get this in white or light tints. Some
flat paints aren't desirable for most
woodwork because of their rather poor
durability and instability. The diff
Guilty is streaking, shining and showing
laps. The recent advent of better alkyd
flats, rubber emulsion and plastic emul-
sion paints is helping to overcome these
difficulties. In some instances, you
might want gloss paint in kitchens or
bathrooms, but the trend has been away
from this finish.
You'll likely want to avoid dark paints
for all but extraordinary uses. Be care
full not to add too much of the deep tint
cOlorS; it's easily overdone. If you do
desire dark tints in any paints, they
usually can be obtained by furnishing
color sample to the manufacturer. Or
colors in oil may be added at your paint
store or on the job.
Clear COatings
Hardwood floors, trims: The natural
beauty of the grain is often desired in
hardwood floors and trim. Good grades
of interior varnish make a clear finish
which enhances this natural beauty
Spar varniSh, such as is made from
phenolic resin and tung oil should be
used where you must protect an un
usual exposure or do frequent cleaning
Thresholds, handrails and hardwood ex
terror doors usually are vanished tt
retain the natural grain of the wood
Spar varnish should be used on these
If you prefer rubbed finish ant
don't expect heavy wear, use cabine
rubbing varnish. Or, for some purposes
