PAGE 2S - PLAINDE ALER "Spring into action" with household cleaning hints that save time, money Don't let April showers or nagging repair jobs dampen your budding spring spirits. Use spring cleaning as an opportu­ nity to fix about-to-be-discarded items in no time at all. Plant a few clever household hints in last year's overgrown garden of annoying chores and watch rejuvenated objects bloom--instantly! As you.begin to exorcise winter's lingering gloom, exer- youi pie, ample, toss that mildewed shower curtain in the wash (with a few bath towels for padding) for a no-detergent cycle. It will emerge like new. It's easier and more economical than shopping for a replacement. While you're at it, use a ver­ satile adhesive to bond those broken plastic shower curtain rings and that cracked plastic towel rack, and suddenly your bathroom is sunshine-fresh. A tube of Eastman 910 adhe­ sive in your "fix-it" drawer could make you a virtual one- person repair service. Why crowd a drawer with sel- domly-used expensive epoxies and bothersome clamps when Eastman 910 forms a strong, long-lasting bond between most household materials? Eastman 910 economically runs the gamut of spring time re­ pair jobs because a single drop can bond up to 5,000 pounds. Fingertip pressure is all that's needed to bond a number of sur- faces instantly--including metals, ceramics, rubber, hard­ woods, smooth leather and most plastics. ..j Your child's old rubber rain slicker will continue to keep him warm and drizzle-proof with Eastman 910 securing loose metal clasps--and bonding tears in last spring's robber rain boots. Don't confine yourself to •i-illlllll# "casual wear." Use time saving adhesive to repair the rips in your old white kid gloves. If you rob white flour into the gloves, all the dirt and grime will disappear and you'll have the finishing touch for your Easter outfit. As the sun shines more strongly, the call of the great outdoors is hard to ignore. A brisk turpentine rub on Includes Flrestop, Sealing Damper, Firescreen & 24" Starter Section ( Pipe.

Use your green thumb for more than planting nasturtiums and marigolds. The qiiick-set- ting adhesive will bond broken hardwood handles on garden tools, and re-attach lawn mower parts. Remove rust from imple­ ments by scouring with steel wool, and help banish future rust by storing mothballs in the tool chest. Your indoor garden deserves a fresh start, too. Remember the ceramic flower pot that was chipped one stir-crazy winter morning? Eastman 910 adhesive will mend the break in a snap, and a quick rub with car wax and a clean cloth will restore the planter's original luster. Your budding springtime imagination can make your household items sparkle with new vitality. A few clever tricks and a ver­ satile, quick-setting adhesive can make spring chores a breeze and send your spirits soaring! A GOOD INVESTMENT Seek advice from the experts A good way to find a compe­ tent, professional remodeler is to ask the experts. Andersen Corporation of Bayport, Minn., a leading win­ dow manufacturer, suggests contacting the National Home Improvement Council for a list of professional remodelers in your area. Consider several who have established good reputations, ask them for customer refer­ ences and check them out with the Better Business Bureau. INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPRING REPAIRS needn't be time consuming or expensive. For example, a few drops of some F«tm«n 910 adhesive on loose car door trim will re-attach metal strips securely, and a quick rub with crumpled aluminum foil will eliminate winter's rust. Clever tricks and a versatile, fast-setting adhesive such as Eastman 910 let you spring into action for quick and easy fix-it-yourself jobs. YOUR HOMEWORK MADE EASY FOR THE '80s.
