Problems,
Solutions
By ROGER c. WHITMAN
Contributing Writer

Question: How can lacquer
be removed so that varnish
may be used in its place?
I want to refinish my dining
table.
Answer: Varnish can be
applied over lacquer, after
dulling the gloss with steel
wool or turpentine. (But lac
quer cannot be applied over
varnish; it acts as a re-
mover and causes smearing)
Lacquer thinner is used to
remove lacquer.
Reporting Step
Question: Six years ago I
replaced a worn-out front
porch with cement steps and
ornamental iron rails;
wrought-iron posts support
the rails. When the cement
was poured for the steps,
holes were provided for fast
ening the posts with cement
later. After the last severe
snowstorm Of the winter, I
discovered a triangular chunk
broken off the outside corner
of the top step, from where
the post was sunk into the
step, leaving a corner of the
post exposed. How would you
suggest fixing this? Also,
cracks are appearing on the
same portion Of the other
three corners. What will pre-
vent these from breaking off
in time?
Answer: The strongest re-
pair would be to first insert
one or two short pieces of
steel reinforcing rods. Holes
can be drilled with a carbide
tipped bit for A-inch elec-
tric drill or a star drill.
Prepare a right angled
wood form which can be
braced against the broken
step corner. (New concrete
poured in this space will then
fill out the step corner
again.) All wood in contact
with concrete should be
creased for easy separation
after the concrete has cured.
Latex patching concrete is ex-
cellent for this type of re-
pair; it is available at large
hardware stores and masonry
supplies dealers.
Nothing I know Of will
prevent other cracks leading
to the same difficulties on
other corners. Possibly trans
parent liquid cement harden
ing preparations may retard
development, but this can
not be guaranteed.

Raleigh hotel-the old Marlborough
House on the Fayetteville Street.
site now occupied by Belk's De-
partment Store. That was from
1871 until 1891, when the present
Mansion on North Blount Street
was completed.
Prior to that, the Governor oc-
cupied "palace" at the foot of
Fayetteville Street where the Raj
eigh Municipal Auditorium now
stands. The Civil War Governor,
Zebulon Baird Vance, was the last
Governor to reside there. He vacat-I
ed when the place was taken over
by General Sherman's troops and
never moved back.
The most elaborate official resi-
dence was construed while North
Carolina was still a Crown Col
ony-what is now the Tryon Palace
Restoration at New Bern. After the
colonies won independence, it was
one Of the seats Of state govern
ment until the Legislative act es-
tablishing the seat of government
lin Raleigh and requiring the Chief
Executive to live in the Capital
City.
Tryon Palace now attracts thous-
sands of visitors to marvel at the
building described in its day as the
most beautiful lin Colonial Amer
ica-but it hardly has more visitors
