From quarterback to kitchen whiz No easy solution for spotty ceiling By Gene Gary Q. We recently purchased an older home with cracked and peeling plaster ceilings. I scraped , 11 of the loose paint and plaster off and filled the cracks and gouges with a prepared filler. After two coats -of paint the surface still looks awful. Every patch shows through the paint as a dull spot, slightly differing in color from the rest of the surface. Can you give me any suggestions on how to im- prove the look of these ceilings without replaster- ing?—V.R. Trace A. The filler you used for patching ` the ceiling is probably absorbing the paint faster than the adjacent sur- face, thus creating the dull spots you describe. There are no simple solutions. However, the careful application of sone additadditional coats of paint may solve the problem. Try coating the dull spots and any streaks with the same paint you used for the two coats you just applied. Use a small brush and cover only the dull areas where you patched the ceiling. Take care to brush it out to a smooth• uniform film. After letting this dry thoroughly, roll on another coat of paint over the entire ceiling area using a slightly darker shade of paint. Or, you could use a tex- tured paint, available at most paint stores. These pro- ducts usually hide cracks and blemishes•and are easily applied with a roller and brush similar to regular paints. 5hs5friIVAf'r INSULATION The Energy Answer People SERVING THE PUBLIC AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY SINCE 1949 CANADIAN GYPSUM RED TOP BLOWN MINERAL WOOL CEILING INSULATION • Urethane sprayed in place • Cementitious thermal barrier for over urethane • Cavity Wall Insulation • Ener Seal that controls air leakage C.H.I.P.

I am refinishing a very. interesting wood buffet and have stripped it to the bare wood removing various coats of varnish. I want to finish it so that the natural wood grain will show. Can I put several coats of clean finish on it, or do I need to use a sealer first? Can you advise me on the proper procedure or product to use that will keep the wood light and enhance the natural gJraita?1g!Irs• X.R.L. A. You will find that clear wood finishes vary. Some have a built-in sealer, while others require that a sealer be applied first. You could use either pro- duct called for by that manu- facturer. Whichever one you use, I would recommend that you apply two finish coats. Q. The wall and floor tile in our kitchen is dull and dingy looking. Is there there any- thing I can do to restore the original luster of the tile and keep it looking nice?— P.G.M. A. You can try bringing the surface back into shape by using a scouring powder paste or a strong detergent solution, plus a nylon scrubbing pad. However, never use steel wool 'pads' because they might cause rust stains. Stainless steel wool, on the other hand, may be useful in removing stubborn soil. For ceramic tile floors, mop a scouring powder paste over the surface and let stand for about five minutes. Scrub with a brush, rinse and wipe dry.' On quarry tile floors, you can use an all-purpose cleaner or scouring powder paste. Rinse thoroughly. For day-to-day care use a damp sponge or cloth to clean and maintain the luster of glazed wall tile and ceramic . mosaic walls. On high -gloss tiles in the stove areas this technique may leave smears. If that is the case, use a spray cleaner such as Windex or Glass Plus and wipe dry with a cloth or paper towel. Damp mopping with water, plus your favorite detergent, will do the job on glazed floor tiles and un- glazed . ceramic mosaic floors. Occasional mopping with a weak detergent solution is all that's needed to keep quarry tile floors shipshape. However, all tile floors, glazed ones in particular should be swept or vacu- umed regularly to remove gritty .particles that might scratch them. ui send it,�l iL "'Et -LNG ASSOCIATIQ"J By Muriel Buckles Bert Jones scores at halftime with e e winning Bert Jones likes the action "hot".
