If you can afford the space when curtains are stored, hang them full length on coat hangers to avoid wrinkles and creases. Ordinary oil paints are seldom satisfactory on hot-water boilers. Even if the paint is applied while the boiler is cold and dry, the subsequent sub-sequent heat will crack the paint.

Get your shower cap from the bathroom and put it on. |
