The turpentine will dissolve the resin and thus allow the paint to enter into the wood pores. After it's done this, the turpentine will evaporate but the paint is there to stay.

Tips on Painting Resinous Wood at Home

Years ago, before we had got rid of most of our forests, painters and carpenters were on very close terms. In fact, things were so nice that |it was not the least bit unusual for a carpenter to ask a painter what he thought of a certain kind of wood before that particular {wood was incorporated into a house. |

1. THE YEARS SINCE PEARL HARBOR have proved that the oil industry must grow-—and grow rapidly—in order to meet its responsibilities to you. Today the American people use over twice as much oil as in 1935, Standard Oil and the other 34,000 producing, refining, transporting and marketing companies in the oil business work harder thfin ever to meet your demand.

3. FOR NEW REFINERY UNITS like the catalytic cracker above, for new oil wells, new pipe lines and many other facilities to bring you more oil, we will have spent a total of about $600,000,000 in 1946, 1947 and 1948. We had to borrow a large part of that. Every month, we add to our skilled, hard-working employee group, which numbers over 46,000 men and women.

2. IN 1947 THIS DRILLING CREW and the other employees of this company and its subsidiary companies broke their previous records for producing crude oil, for menufacturing and distributing finished products. This year we are out to bring you still more of the gasoline, lubricants, fuel oil and hundreds of other petroleum products which you and the nation need so urgently. /

4. DURING THE MONTHS JUST AHEAD you may not be able to drive into a service station just any time and get all the gasoline you want. But this problem and others can and will be sotved. Working fogether as free men and women, the American people will continue to grow, to produce, to earn for themselves more and more of the things that make life better for everyone.
