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.

neighboUrhood.
