Home My WebLink AboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-01-25, Page 16By GeneGary Q. I have some 'kitchen cabinet doors that are slight- ly warped. I believe I recall in one of your previous columns you outlined the' method to correct this condi- tion and I would appreciate K if you would publish the information again. Thanks. — Margaret II, W. A. The warping is usually due to the entrance of mois- ture into the wood, causing the wood fibers to expand. Probably there is an un- sealed edge on the doors. Take the warped door off the cabinets and place them, concave side up, across wooden sawhorses or chair backs, after removing the present finish down to bare wood. The doors must remain undisturbed for about a week in a dry, well - ventilated place. Place heavy weights, such as large books, pails of water, big rocks„ on the heavy ends to gradually straighten the doors. When straightened, sand the surfaces smooth,Vipe off ay dust and be sure there is no trace of grease, wax, soot ,or other dirt. Then finish with shellac, , varnish or enamel, as desired, being sure to finish and seal all edges as well as both surfaces. This should prevent further intrusion of moisture. • Q. I read with interest your article about removing stains from marble. I have stains that I believe are from shaving cream. Could this be from the lye in the, soapand What can I welt) remove it? Thank you. Your column ' has answered many ques- tions for .me. — Mrs. R. W. 0., Coronado, Calif. A. It is impossible for me to determine exactly what was in the soap or whether it. caused the stains. To remove greasy or oily stains, usually circular and darker lb the center, wash the surface with. ammonia, thoroughly rinse and towel If the stain remains, it has penetrated the marble sur- face. To remove, cut a white blotter to a size slightly larger than the stain, satur- ate it with acetone, place over the stain and cover With plastic wrap to keep it moist. Leave for about 12 hours be- fore wiping off. Repeat the process if necessary., ° A warning note: Use the acetone only on solid marble. It will dissolve the binder used in cultured marble. To bleach Whither stains, mix 11,4 cups of hydrogen peroxide, available in drug stores, with eight drops of household ammonia. With an eye dropper, immediately apply the solution to the stain. Let it remain for a few hours, then rinse and wipe •dry. This may be the same formula , you read in a pre- vious column. I have no other information for removal of marble stains. Q. 1 recently purchased an old library table that some- one had glued together. In so doing, he or she let the glue drip and failed to remove it. Can you tell me what if .anything will soften this heavy -type glue sothat I can, remove it? — Mrs. C. B. H., Escondido, Calif. A. On some old; hardened glues, ordinary warm white vinegar will act as a soft- ener, but this may darken some woods. It is often possi- ble to sand it off. In either case, the finish under the glue maybe damaged and refinishing may be necessary. Warming the glue with a hair dryer is another possi- bility. It may soften the glue to make for easy rernoval. Beautify your neighboUrhood. Get out on the street.
