ASPHALTUM ON PIPES. 



I have three greenhouses used for a 

 general stock of cut flowers and bedding 

 plants in which the hot water pipes have 

 been painted with asphaltum. The 

 fumes given off are ruining the stock, 

 the roses in particular. I have tried 

 running a heavy fire and throwing the 

 ventilators vdde open; have also used a 

 gasoline torch .and tried sand paper. 

 Can you tell me how to get the paint 

 off without losing any more stock? 



C. J. B. 



I regret to say I know of no way of 

 removing this paint that will not be 

 deleterious to the pipes and injurious to 

 the plants. It is likely that strong am- 

 monia water would be as effective in 

 removing the paint as anything that 

 could be used as a wash. It is possible 

 that a strong lye wash might be of some 

 use. I do not think that either of these 

 would hurt the pipes to speak of and 

 would probably not injure the plants. 

 Any acid which might be used would 

 injure the pipe seriously. 



It is a great mistake to paint pipes 

 intended for heating purposes. In some 

 cases it is economy to paint flow pipes 

 that are not considered in estimating 

 the radiation for a house, or where ap- 

 pearance is a factor, but where eflSciency 

 and economy are elements in the flnan- 

 cial management of a place do not paint 

 the pii^s. L. C. C.
