ITO keep grease from showing
through new paint on plaster wall,
first apply two coats of aluminium
paint, which forms a good sealer.
Paint that has been spilled on bricks
can be removed by first heating the
spot with an electric heater. After the
spot has been softened, wash it wen
with hot water containing about three
pounds of washing soda to the gallon.
Follow this with good brushing, using
