The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-02-01, Page 18Page 4—Crossroads—Feb. 1, 1984 Here's How By Gene Gary Q. We have some wood paneling which has grooves in it. I thought first of taking it down, but instead, with all the work involved and no use for the used paneling, I won- dered if something could be put into the grooves, a sort of filler, so that we could wall- paper over the surface. If this can be done, -advise -us what to use. Also, would this ruin the paneling if someone at a later date wanted to remove the paper and restore the paneling? — Mrs. C.C., Gerald, Mo. A. There is no way you can paper over the paneling without damaging the panel- ing to some extent However, papering is possible by first using a lin- ing canvas which on drying shrinks enough to tighten over the grooves in the paneling. Then wallpaper can be installed over this lin- ing. Or a canvas -back vinyl wallpaper could be used without . the lining. First go over the paneling with a strong solhtion of tri - sodium phosphate, one cup to a gallon of warm water, to clean the surface and reduce the shine so the paper will' adhere to the surface. Liquid sandpaper could be used. If the wallpaper is to be re- moved, the paneling would need to be completely re- finished. ' QA-wo asbestos tile over a concrete floor which is not 'very smooth. Is any preparation of the concrete surface necessary before the tile is installed? Mary O.M. A. A resilient tile should not be applied over a rough concrete floor. This rough- ness can be corrected by troweling a material called "underlayment" ever the surface. The product comes ready -mixed and is applied in a very thin coat. It har- dens rapidly, and the tile can then be installed. Another way to smooth a concrete floor is to go over the surface with a terrazzo grinding machine, a piece of equipment which can be rented. Q. How is pewter polished? I,have a creamer and sugar bowl of pewter that are much duller than they should be af- ter years of use. — Betty D. . A. Some houseware deal- ers carry -special pewter polishes. Follow label direc- tions carefully. Harsh, abrasive polishes should not be used on this metal because pewter is soft alloy. Fqr a dull finish, ,make a past of olive oil and rotten - stone and rub this over the pewter surface with a soft cloth. Rinse off the paste with clear water and, wipe dry with clean, soft cloths. For a bright finish, make a paste of powdered whiting and denatured alsohol, voeering the entire surface with a thin layer. Allow to dry, then rub with a soft cloth. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with clean soft cloths. Q. Please tell me what to use to soak and clean a shower head. Itis caked with salts from hard water. — W.N.J. A. Remove the shower head and immerse it in a strong solution of white vine- gar. Then bring this solution to a boil, cool and rinse. A cleaner used foar cleaning steam irons also . will work with shower heads.
