Outside, xst, ed and 3d coats, mix the lead to proper consistency with boiled
oil, allowing time between to dry hard. Inside — 1st coat, mix lead and !
paint in mixture one-half boiled oil, one-half turpentine. 2d, one-fourth
oil, three-fourths turpentine. 3d, mostly turpentine with a little oil to hold
color. No dryer required. Inside paint must have light.
EST PAINTERS’ SIZE. — Heat raw oil in a pan till it emitsa black
smoke ; set it on fire, and, after burning a few minutes, cover the pan
over to put out the blaze ; pour the oil while warm into a bottle in which
some pulverized red lead and litharge have been introduced. Stand the
bottle in a warm place for two weeks, shaking often. It wifi then be ready
to decant and bottle,
LACK AND GREEN PAS NT. -DURABLE AND CHEAP.— Black— -
grind powdered charcoal in linseed oil with sufficient litharge as dryer ;
thin for use with well-boiled linseed oil. Grekn— add yellow ochre to
above and an excellent green is obtained, preferable to thebright green, for
garden work, as it will not fade.
ED WASH FOR BRICKS. — To remove the green that gathers on
_ bricks, pour over them boiling water in which any vegetables, not
greasy, have been boiled. Repeat for a few days, and green mil disappear.
For the red wash melt 1 ounce of glue in 1 gallon water; while hot add
alum size of egg, % pound Venetian red, x pound Spanish brown. Try it 5
if too light, add more red and brown. If too dark, water.
COMMON OIL VARNISH.— 3 pounds resin, % gallon drying oil; melt
together and add, when removed from fire, two quarts warm oil of
turpentine.
ILK PAINT, —FOR BARNS, ANY COLOR.— Mix water lime with
skim-milk to proper consistency to apply with brush, and it is ryady
for use. It will adhere well to wood, smooth or rough, to brick, mortar, or
stone, where oil has not been used, and forms a very hard substance, as dur¬
able as the best oil paint. Any color may be had by using colors dissolved
in whisky.
HITE-WASH.— VERY NICE FOR ROOMS— Whiting, 4 pounds;
common glue, 2 ounces ; stand glue in cold water over night ; mix
whiting with cold water, heat glue till dissolved, and pour it hot into the
former. Make of consistency to apply with common white-wash brush.
TO PAINT AN OLD HOUSE— Take 3 gallons water and 1 pint flax¬
seed ; boil half an hour ; take it off and add water enough to make
four gallons ; let it stand to settle ; pour off the water in a pail, and put in
enough of Spanish white to make it as thick as white-wash ; then add %
pint linseed oil ; stir it well and apply with a brush. If the whiting does
not mix readily, add more water. Flaxseed having the nature of oil is
better than glue, and will not wash off as readily.
