‘First Aid For A

By ROGET C. WHITMAN BURLAP ON PLASTIC BOARD

QUESTION: The home we are having built will have plas- ter-board walls throughout. We would like to use burlap to co- vert the livingroom walls. How can this be applied?

ANSWER: A coat of varnish sizing should first be applied to the clean wall surface. For tight-fitting seam-:. apply a one- inch wide stripe of pure, fresh, shellac along each edge of the underside of the burlap, this is dry, trim a half-inch off, using a straight edge and razor blade This will give a clean edge that won't ravel and which can be butted neatly against the adjoining strip, Instead of ap- plying the adhesive to the bur- lap, apply it to the plasterboard surface. Then put on the strips of burlap as you apply wall- paper. i

TERMITES FURNITURE

QUESTION: I! bought an old table and two chairs at an auc- tion. A friend examining the furniture carefully has discover- ed termites in the wood. Will these spread to other wood? Is there any way to get rid of them and still make use of the furni- ture?

ANSWER: These are prob- ably nonsubterranean termites, as they are in furniture. Non- subtertwhean termites fly directly to and bore into wood, Subter- ranean termites build tunnels from the ground to attack wood. To kill the termites, the table and chairs must be placed in a chamber heated to 150 degrees F., {or 1% hours, or at 140 de grees F., for four hours. Con- sult a wood working company with equipment for bending and shaping wood about having this done. Conversely, if you can park the furniture in a com munity frozen food-locker for a few days the freezing will also kill the termites.

These termites may damage other wood in the area. Insec- ticides, liquid or dust can also be-used —to-combat- them. this type of treatment, consult a reliable exterminator.
