Name(Print) Address City State Zip Delmhorst Model G·22 Wood Moisture Detector SOLID STATE COM PACT LIGHT WEIGHT DIRECT READING 6% TO 30% WOOD MOISTU RE RANGE This is an excellent all-purpose instrument for use in plants, mills, or by the individual craftsman. It is normally sold with the Type 4E Electrode, 4-pin, 5/16" penetration. However, any other electrode can be used pocket-size with it, either in place of, or in addition to the 4E, thus making it a very versatile, efficient tool in the hands of anyone concerned with the best utilization of wood. Other Delmhorst wood moisture testers include the Model-J series and the standard wide-range RC-1C and RC-2. All inquiries are welcome. <strong>Free</strong> literature. Q & A (continued) hance it. It also resists fungus and weather quite well. Mix equal amounts of boiled linseed oil and any good brand of varnish. Spread this mixture generously on the furniture, but before it dries-about 15 minutes ro a halfhour later-wipe off all that you possibly can . Use a burlap-type rag, and plenty of elbow grease. The very thin coating that remains in the wood will offer surprisingly good protection and it can be still improved by repetition. Give each application a week to dry and put the emphasis on the rubbing-that is what makes it beautiful." To W. H. Baldwin, who is looking for bulk abrasives : Charles Haber of Huntington Beach, Calif. , notes that hobby shops catering ro rock hounds sell bulk carborundum in a variety of grits. More about earlier questions : Several readers warn that vegetable oils used to finish salad bowls eventually turn rancid in the wood and taint the food. Although mineral oil in large quantities may rob the body of vitamins, the tiny amount that might enter the salad is harmless. Marty Sweet of Fairfax, Calif. , adds : ' 'One can also use coconut oil or lemon oil, neither of which will decay. Of course any oil finish will be far better if it is applied hot and rubbed with 600-grit paper soaked with the oil of choice. I , Re the difficulty of bonding veneer to particle board : Henry Kramer of Somerville, N. ]., says , "Give it up. Don't try to put nice veneer on particle board." Marlow agrees : "I wouldn't use the stuff on a doghouse. Bond veneer to a good grade of plywood." But George Kahn of Potsdam, N. Y. , writes that tight finances have forced him to experiment with particle board. He has concluded that the critical problem is moisture-veneer lifts because the wood chips in the board weren't dry at the time of manufacture. His answer is, "First make sure your particle board is dry-air dry it for at least a month at room temperature. Second, seal it with shellac sealer or lacquer cut 50% with thinner, and add a tablespoon of Japan dryer per half-gallon of mixture. Three light coats make a superb gluing surface ; roughen the lacquer with 220-grit paper before applying contact cement. " POLYETHYLENE Gl YeOl, the new wood stabilizer and chemical seasoning agent.
