Paining flccmti Some of the important Mttto ao> crets of successful darning are: (1) Use a line needle and short thread. Long thread pulled back and forth across the tear or hole tends to stretch the darn out of *ape. (2) Use thread that blends with the material--preferably ravalings from the same cloth, or dullfinish thread of a matching but slightly darker shade. Ikread usually works up lighter than it appears on the spool. (3) Darn on the right side, but steam press the finished darn on the wrong side, then brush the right side to lift the nap. i Clean Paint Good paint brushes merit extra care. Thoroughly wash them out with turpentine or the synthetic equivalent after using, hang them up by the handle to dry, and then wrap in cloth or paper to keep the bristles straight and clean during storage. Varniah brushes should be cleaned in alcohol. Brushes used frequently are often hung in containers of solvent between periods ct OK. At no time should the brush be permitted to rest on the bottom of the container, since this distorts the bristles. Do not use paint and varnish removers to clean bruahes •bee they are seldom suited for this Whm In GALL C15-W-2 IGNITION SPECIALISTS _Meter Tuac ana a Specialty •octrfeal aad Fuel Units • Exchanged • ^ SALES AND SERVICE KOTOS ESBtJILDnfO BUSKS SERVICE J.
