This Unit Can Silence

IS the only thing can do is to
have a china repair man put in
one of those staples?
Answer-One of the largest
manufacturers Of chemicals and
paints sells a quick drying,
transparent. waterproof cement.
1t comes in tubes and is avail
able in stationery. hardware.
paint, house furnishings and
drugstores, as well as many SUI
permarkets. This cement is very
easy to apply, and once it dries
it has f1rst-rate strength. Apply
1t to each broken surface, and
hold them together with pres
sure for "a hours for best results.
Gold Paint on a Table
QuestiOn-Please let me know
If gold paint (bronze) must be
removed before painting the ia
BILE with varnish?
Answer presume you wish,
if possible, to retain the gold
color. Some Of the gold paints
will soften readily when turpen-
tine or any liquid containing a
solvent comes in contact with
it. Before attempting to varnish
such a surface, wipe some OBJ
scure part Of the table with
naphtha or other paint thinner
and If the gold paint comes of,
remove all Of it with paint re-
mover. If nothing happens then
I would say it is quite safe to
apply varnish.

/ New Finish for Floor
QueStiOn-We bought a So
year-old house. which is in Won
derful shape. except for the floors
in the living room and dining
room. They are so dirty with I
don't know how many coats Of
old wax and CRIME. that the only
practical thing would be to start
from scratch" and put on a new
finish. / rented a floor scraping
machine, and took all the finish
down to bare wood, and sanded
it smooth, Now. before I start
to build up to new wax finish.
I'd like to know what, if any.
preparatory steps I should take.
I want to do this job right.
Answer - You've made a
mighty fine start already. Next
thing is a coat of penetrating
sealer, to get into the wood f1bers.
Follow this with an application
of paste wood filler, wiping up
the excess. When this has dried,
put on one or two coats Of high
quality floor wax, and you should
certainly have a handsome floor
