Damp Sugar Bin
Dear Aunt Daisy, You told us of a Link who had trouble with her old kauri sugar bin being damp all the time. I, too, have a kauri bin nearly 25 years old, and mine was always damp and the sugar seemed damp, too. However, a young friend who is a painter said he would fix it for me! He scrubbed the bin well inside, and dried it out with the electric heater, because it was rather. big to put out in the sun} When it was well dried he gave it a coat of knotting, let it dry well again, and then gave it another coat. It has been quite alright ever since, and that was about two years ago.
