If such a lamp cannot bo had, tho paint may be rom-ved by applying strong soda lye, and after leaving It for some tlmo scraping it off as before. If the wood Is to be repainted, It Is necessary neces-sary to go ovor. It first with vinegar or weak acid to "kill" or neutralize the soda which would prevent the paint from adhering. |
