PAGE B6 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY MAY 11, 1988 Get ready to paint your house when exterior surfaces begin to show wear. Wood grain will begin to show clearly, primer will show through the outside paint and the colour of the old paint will fade. If you repaint too often you‘ll end up with a tooâ€"thick coating that‘s likely to crack and break away. The coating will be too thick to adjust to weather changes (from hot sun to bitter wind) and to the natural structural shifts of the house. If you don‘t repaint soon enough and the paint surface deteriorates, it will take hard work to restore its smoothness. You may need to sand down to the bare surface and begin again as if it were new work. Keep an eye on the condition of your exterior paintwork so you will be able to judge the right time for a new paint job. You Will Need *paint primer (different kinds for wood and metal) * linseed oil * solvent * wire brush and steel wool * paint scraper * cleaning solution for mildew (or bleach and water) * putty * wood sealer * caulking compound * putty knife * sandpaper *paint brushes (100 mm, or 4", is best for large areas) *paint rollers and tray *paint buckets and paddle or stick *two stepladders and cross planking * dripcloths ° *hair protection and gloves for Exterior alkyd (oil base) paints have high hiding and sticking qualities.

Alkyd paint requires a completely dry, clean surface, dry air and application in temperatures above 5°C (40°F) for best results. Clean up with turpentine or paint thinner. Exterior latex paints may be applied on a damp day (but not in rain or a heavy dew) when air and surface temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). They dry quickly to lessen the chance of spotting by dust and bugs and they "breathe" to allow moisture to escape and so reduce the possibility of blistering or peeling. Clean up with warm water. Replace all damaged and decayed wood. Check aground windows, steps and posts, and around the eaves for damaged wood. Check downspouts and gutters and clean them before painting. Clean rust from all metal areas, using a wire brush and steel wool, then apply metal primer to the cleaned surfaces. Check all exposed nail heads for rust. Use steel wool to remove rust, then sink nails with a nailset and fill the hole with putty. Choose a day for painting when rain or heavy winds are not 1500 Weber St. E.
