BUDDY'S WORKSHOP Remove All Wax Before Painting Why is it that paint and varnish does not dry properly when applied to some surfaces - as a stair rail or steps - that obviously have not been painted for several years? Paint, varnish - in fact, most finishes will not dry prop erly when applied to surfaces that have been waxed. The wax loses its luster over the years but much of it still coats the surface and prevents the new finish from adhering to the surface. It's always wise to clean the surface before painting. You can use turpentine or ask your paint dealer for a surface preparer that will remove old wax. Does paint really preserve the life of a galvanized gar bage can or is it purely a decorative measure? Paint always preserves. Before and during use, mainte nance can greatly extend the life of galvanized cans. Before use, coat the inside of the garbage can with zinc chromate. Prime and paint the outside of the can, including the bot tom. Periodically wash the inside of the can with water un der pressure and turn it over to dry before using again. These measures prevent the formation of rust. Is there some kind of helpful treatment when windows first start to bind? Raise (or lower) the window and clean the track, remov ing all accumulated dust, dirt and other materials. Apply dry soap or wax to the track.

Winter Corrosion Frequent washing is a critical part of winter car care. Corrosion begins on the underside of the car and works its way through. You can pre vent this by cleaning road salt and other foreign material from the un derside panels with the pressure washer wand at a self-service carwash or doing the job at home with a garden hose. Use a carwash soap that does n't remove wax.

(Staff Photo) Check House Plants During Cold Check your house plants for signs of trouble during the cold months when the home heating system is working. Trouble signs are very likely to show up in the form of "burned" leaf edges as if they have been scorched by flame. If you have plants with this symptom, the problem may be house heat. Extension hor ticulturists at North Carolina State Univer sity point out that house plant troubles often Birlh Defects A study by the University of California, Irvine and the national Center for Disease Control has linked the first cases of congenital birth defects with a popular oral acne medication. Investigators found that women taking the drug Accu tane during pregnancy ex perienced a high rate of severe birth defects in their off spring, including brain dam age, heart ailments and phys ical abnormalities. The drug, also known by its generic name isotretinoin, has been available by pre scription since September 1982. show up during winter when dry heat is being pumped into and cir culated through the house. Another major source of house plant problems is too much water. There seems to be a natural tendency to want to water a plant too often when it is in the house during cold weather. This will cause lower leaves to turn yellow and fall off. Too little light is another cause of sickly house plants. This will cause them to grow spindly and one-sided. The NCSU specialists suggest adding moisture to the room air to raise the humidity and help prevent leaf burning. Water the plant only when the soil is dry to the touch. If your plant isn't get ting enough light, move it to a window or con sider using a special flourescent light designed for plant culture.
