Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 234, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1910 — Filler for Floors. [ARTICLE]

Filler for Floors.

When you are having your floor stained here is a good filler, recommended by a paint man, to cover up the cracks in a carpetless floor. It is nothing more nor less than newspaper and mucilage. Soak the newspaper in warm water until it is reduced, by tearing and squeezing, to a mere pulp; mix this pulp with enough mucilage to give it consistency and stuff the cracks with it by means of a pointed stick, smoothing them off carefully so as to avoid lumps. This will do just as well as an expensive and troublesome putty filler.
