Pock Marks Appearing
On Concrete Surface?

them? I would like a natural
finish.
Answer-Remove the old finish
with paint remover, using it as
directed on the label of the con-
tainer. Try to get the nonin-
fiammable kind. If not available,
be very careful of fire and put
out all pilot lights, shut of cleo
trio motors, and work in a well
ventilated room. If the wood is
stained, apply liberal quantity
of a hot saturated solution of
oxalic acid (poison). Allow to
remain overnight; then rinse
with clear water. When dry,
smooth with 10000" sandpaper
OF garnet paper. Wipe off the
dust and finish with a Semigloss
varnish or a clear lacquer.
Paint on Brickwork
QuestiOn-Two years ago we
painted the woodwork on our
house with a paint that has
washed off and stained the
bricks, We have just repainted
the woodwork but would like to
remove the white stains from
the bricks.
Answer-The pigment of the
paint that has washed down onto
the bricks has penetrated into
the pores. making it impossible
to remove. except by sandblast-
ing. Building cleaning contrac-
tors would do such work. You
might try scrubbing with hot
solution of trisodium phosphate
using about three pounds to the
gallon of water; then rinse with
clear water. This may take out
some of the stain, but I doubt
if it will do it completely.
Sweating Basement Wall
QueStiOn-In one corner of the
basement of our new house 1
noticed in summer a damp spot
on hot. humid days. On certain
days it would actually sweat.
However, on normal days it is,
from all appearances, perfectly
dry. Could you explain the rea-
son for this? How can l correct
it? I'd like to do so before cold
weather sets in, because I'm
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-20
BIZ ROGER c. WHITMAN


Questi0n-What can be done
regarding my problem? My ce-
ment driveway tabout four years
old had developed pock marks.
1t seems that the top coating
of cement is peeling, resulting
in many small cavities and con-
seqently loose gravel appears.
Answer--The only thing you
can do, is to roughen the surface
thoroughly, clean the concrete
and wet it; then put down a
one-inch layer of concrete top
ping. If the depth of the pocks
is fairly shallow. it might be
possible to grind down the sur
face with a terrazzo grinding
machine. Avoid using salt or
calcium chloride on the con-
crete to melt ice Use sand in
stead to stop slipperiness.
Rust on Concrete
QueStiOn-How can I remove
rust spots from a concrete floor?
Answer-One part of sodium
citrate is added to six parts of
water, then add six parts of
commercial glycerine. Mix part
of this with enough powdered
whiting to form a paste and
spread a thick layer of it over
the stains. When dry, either
replace the paste or moisen with
the remaining liquid. A week
or more may be necessary to
remove the stain completely.
Insulating Glass
QuestiOn-We have a window
with insulating glass which was
installed about six years ago. 1t
is now becoming cloudy between
the two layers of glass. This
window faces toward the east
and there are several trees.
Would like to have your opinion
regarding the possible cause of
the cloudiness, also the remedy.
Answer-Somewhere - some
how-the metallic seal between
the two sheets of glass has
broken. allowing moisture and
atmospheric dust to get into the
air space. I don't know Of any
remedy. l suggest that you write
to the manufacturer.
