To Remove Varnish
Dear Aunt Daisy, Will you please tell me how I can remove varnish from the kitchen walls before doing them again with fresh varnish? They have been varnished twice before. Although I washed them well before I last varnished them, the varnish
did not dry very well and I should like to make a better job this time. I do not want to paint the walls as paint marks easily. "South Otago." You can get proper paint and varnish remover from the paint shops, with directions, for ysing. An _ alternative method, very much in vogue, is to wash over the old yarnish thickly with the ordinary liquid egg preservative. Put plenty on and leave it for 24 hours, Then scrub off, and the old varnish comes off easily. This is much used, too, by people who want to re-paint or varnish their furniture.
