Show It Makes Cents BY vi. JUDGE Kjgj' Dear Vi: Pour scratch remover polish into a clean, empty liquid shoe polish bottle. Its dauber is perfect for applying the polish to small scratches. To tell a raw egg from a cooked one, place it on its side and spin it like a top. If it spins evenly, it is cooked.. If it wobbles, it is raw. In pursuing our hobby, (refinishing furniture), we've learned a few short cuts. A favorite is to back narrow strips of sandpaper' with cellophane tape to use, shoe-string fashion, on rounded surfaces. Daniel Harding, Mesquite, Nevada DearVi: To keep your soap-filled steel wool scouring pads' from rusting between" use, put them in plastic bags and store them in the freezer. They not only keep without rusting, but' -somehow - they seem to clean better when frozen. Naomi B., Rexburg, Idaho Well, what do you know! I hate rusted pads - so wasteful and messy, but I'd never thought of storing pads in the freezer. Isn't it fun to share ideas? Dear Vi: I was always clipping good ideas .from your column and elsewhere, ' then forgetting to use them. Now I tape the idea where it will be used, Inside kitchen or closet cupboard doors, above the washing machine or workbench, in the bathroom, etc. After using an idea a few times, I remember it. Then I can destroy the clipping and make room for others. Darline Graham, Heber, Utah |
