In this condition it is painted. The sun's heat from with*, and the heat from stoves and furnaces within, vapor izes this meted water and causey it to seek an outlet. Reach ing thecoafpeint, it is temporarily obstructed, until it can 44 raise a blister,'Sad make its escape. The paint surface has no affinity for moistutand when the two elements come in contact there is sure to besoubie. Lumber should be thoroughly dried before paint is apped to it. Again, much new lumber, even when dry, is so soft aispongy that if a coat of thick paint (good or bad) be applied dimly on the wood, it is liable to spot or peel off.

QUANTITY REQUIRED. S outside painting on buildings .usually consists of two coats over a prevt. A ously painted surface,* or, if on a surface never before painted, preceded by a primary coat, it is.customary to estimate the quantity of paint required far two cniits. Surfaces are so variable in condition that no rule can be given wiiicli will be louiui applicable to all cases. An experienced practical painlcr can judge as to this. Actual tests which have been made show that one gallon of Tut Sh k r w in WfLUASts Pa in t will cover with two coats 30Q square feet of smooth surface in average condition. Many who have purchased on this basts have had paint left, because-the surface was in excellent condition and the paint applied by good workmen. Others, calculating on the same basis, have been disappointed and obliged to buy more, but found on investigation that the variation from the quantity prescribed by the rule was due to one or more of the following causes: r. Afintuaturmcrtf. There is danger of making mistakes in measuring the surface of a building to be painted, even among those who arc accustomed tu make estimates, so.complex arc the architectural features on some buildings, and so variable are the nature and condition of surfaces. After careful measure ment has been made for a job, From n/z to 18# per cent, should bo added to the simple surface dimensions, on account of the edges and slope to siding. 2. Poug/t or Porous Sur/att, This may be either brick or wood ; in die latter case inferior new lumber or old weather-beaten surfaces, which the pa-m has long since ceased to properly protect, 3- improperApplication^ i. spreading it on too thick, or "flowing" it h, .perhaps. using a wide, flat brush. This way of spreading paint is recom mended by manufacturers of cheap or alkali paints, but is not adapted to this, nor to any other properly made paint. 4. Temperature. Much more paint is used on a given surface in cold weather than in warm, because it is not so pliant and free working. After having found the total number of square feet of surface to be painted, add toper cent, for waste and paint that will unavoidably be taken up in beads, edges, cracks, etc., where it cannot be thoroughly brushed out. Divide the total number of square feet by 300, and the result will give the number of gallons of Th u Sh e r w in -Wil l ia ms Pa in t to buy. 'iTKNTIQN is called to the fact that nearly all other manufacturers of A paints arc obliged to give a rule for the covering capacity of their goods from 15 tp 25 per cent. more than this, simply because The SherwinWilttsms Paint is properly made, and of proper materials,- ami therefore admits of being rubbed out under the brush like any good lead, zinc and oil paint, not requiring to be "flowed on," as the manufacturers of cheap paints direct their products to he used. 0007-SWP-000124366 Z9fr2K)00-dMS-Z000 zzz ?p?
