Painting Cellar Floor Rubber base paints frequently are used for painting cement floors and basements, because they resistant to alkali which would versely affect some other types paint. Before applying rubber base paints to a cement floor, any paint should be removed with paint remover, all residue from the paint remover washed off with turpentine or mineral spirits, and the floor thoroughly dried out. A further pre caution before painting cement cel lar floors, either r.ew or old, is to etch them with m uriatic acid solu tion in the proportion of about one pint of acid to one gallon of water. If the acid solution is used the floor should be well rinsed to remove traces of the acid and then thor oughly dried before painting. Two coats of the rubber base paint then can be applied, being careful that the first coet is dry before the sec ond coat is applied. /íh&fieyú a/s.
