prove inadequate, as anyon*
knows wh* baa atruggled with
problema of hliatered paint and
rotting wood on the exterior of
his houae. Now an extra "rain
coat" la available. It'a a water
repellent wood preaervative.
Thia preaervative, according to
L E. Tuckwiller, Watauga county
agent, it pentacblorophenol, often
re/erred to siaaply aa ' penta."
Thia can be purchased under vari
ous trade names, already mixed
in a water repellent aolution, or
aa a concentrate to be mixed ac
cording to directions given on the
label.
Tests carried out show that
wood siding readily absorbs mois
ture when it is subjected to a
driving rain Or water running
down over it. Due to capillary ac
tion—the tendency of a liquid in
contact with a solid to flow up
ward—raindrops actually climb
ap under the aiding.
On * newly painted house •
paint film may stop this action,
but the slightest crevice permits
the joints to sook up water like a
sponge. When this happens paint
blisters or, as the water drips out
the same way it entered, it leaves
streaky stains from wood, build*
ing paper or rasty nails.
In replacing rotted siding, soak
or dip the new wood in a penta
solution, suggests Mr. Tuckwiller.
Or If boards are sound and the
house simply needs repainting,
scrape and sand Mistered areaa.
Then, before new point la applied,
brush a penta', water-repellent
preaervative into overlap Joints
and butt ends. Joints on door and
window trims and house corners
should be treated too, especially
where old paint haa loosened. Ex
cess penta that runs down over
the paint should be wiped off
with a cloth dampened with paint
thinner. Allow the penta to dry
thoroughly before the house is
