Slippery Concrete
Dear Aunt Daisy, After a lifetime of experience as a plasterer in every branch of our skilled trade, I can advise your correspondent "Happy Anne,’ Wanganui, that no method of smearing cément mixtures on the existing smooth concrete paths will be a success. I suggest bitumen mixtures, or the emulsion ‘type, both of which can be dusted over ‘with selected fine crushed quarry grit. The result is a permanent, good appearance, non-skid surface. The works foreman of the boreugh council could aflvise "Happy Anne" where to procure the emulsion to be brushed on, and also the grit for broadcasting and rolling-in. "Master Plasterer,’’ Christchurch. Many thanks for this expert advice.
