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.
