Thick Layers
Of Old Paint
Spoil New Job
A dollar bill, a magnifying
glass, and a chip of old paint from
the wall are handy tools to start
with if you’re going to repaint
the exterior of your house.
Measure the paint chip against
the edge of the dollar bill under
the glass and see which is thicker..
If the chip of paint is twice as
thick, the old paint coating will
probably have to be removed be-
fore repainting. If it is four times
as thick, the old paint will “cer-
tainly have to be removed," ac-
cording to American Buildei
magazine.
The magazine says it is best to
follow the recommendation of a
reputable painting contractor.
Chemical Nature Changes"
Excessive thickness causes
chemical changes in under layers
of paint. The result may be blis-
tering or cracking, and then the
new paint is likely to flake off.
If "incompatible" paints were
used in the past, this also might
necessitate oomplete removal of
colored house paint applied over
dark-colored trim paints or red
barn paint; pure white lead ap-
plied over a previous paint con-
taining zinc oxide that had not
weathered for at least three to
four years! or paint or enamel
over varnish, shellac or lacquer.
“These Combinations,” Ameri-
can Builder says, “may cause
scaling or alligatoring. in which
the checking or Bracking of the
paint film under weathering re-
veals the old coat through the
fissures in the later coat.”
Uae Best Paint Available
The magazine recommends re-
painting with the same kind of
paint used previously, or with a
new paint that is compatible with
the old.
For all painting, American
Builder advises the use of the
best paints available and says to
beware of buying paint which
promises "great savings” in coft.
“The best paint is a matter of
manufacturer reputation and
neighborhood experience," the
magazine says. “If you think you
can do better than using one of
the well-known brands, be sure
to choose a paint which has been
used successfully on other houses
or similar surfaces in the neigh-
borhood."

owner of a new home operates
