Sw e e t 's Continued on next page National Lead Company (2) Plaster--Before applying any paint to plaster, either new or old, see that the plaster is clean and smooth. Fill all cracks with approved patching plaster. Where new plaster to be painted is not properly aged, it shall be treated before priming with a solution made by dissolving 2 lb. of zinc sulphate in 1 gal. of water. (3) Brick and Stone--New brickwork shall not be primed until dry. At least 2 or 3 days of dry weather should precede painting. If any mortar has become loose or washed out, repoint all such damaged places with mortar or portland cement before applying paint. After priming correct small defects in the surface with putty. (4) Stucco and Concrete--Stucco or concrete should be allowed to stand and dry a year before paint is applied. If painted within a year, it shall be aged artifically by washing with a solution made by dissolving 2 lb. of zinc sulphate in 1 gal. of water, or with carbonic acid water. (5) Metal Work--Iron, steel and other metal work shall be cleaned thoroughly of all loose paint, dirt, oil, grease, rust, scale and other foreign matter before paint is applied. This cleaning should be done with scrapers and wire brushes. Where soldering fluids have been used, the surface shall be scrubbed carefully with sand soap and water and dried thoroughly before paint is applied. The Paint and Its Application--(6) Designa tion o Paint to be Used--All woodwork, plaster, brick, stone, concrete and stucco which are to be painted, shall be painted with Dutch Boy or Carter white lead, Dutch Boy flatting oil, pure linseed oil, pure turpentine and pure drier mixed according to the formulas herein after designated for each kind of work. All metal shall be painted with Na t io n a l Le a d Co mp a n y 's Dutch Boy red lead-in-oil, Dutch Boy liquid red lead, or pure dry red lead and pure linseed oil mixed according to formu las hereinafter given for each specific purpose. (7) Tinting Materials--In producing tints and shades, John T. Lewis & Bros. Company colors-in-oil or those of equally high grade shall be used. If colorsin-oil are used in quantities large enough to affect the consistency of the paint, the quantities of thinners named in the formulas shall be increased in amount equal to one-half the weight of the tinting material. (8) Applying the Paint--No exterior painting shall be done when rain or snow is falling, during fog, or until after dew or moisture which may be on the surface has completely disappeared. Painting done in winter weather, shall only be done when the tempera ture is above 50 F. and when all surfaces are dry. All exterior work shall be allowed to dry from 2 to 4 days before the next coat is applied and at least 24 hours shall be allowed between coats on interior work. (9) Finishing Metal to Suit Color Scheme-- Where the color of red lead paint specified for metal work does not conform to color scheme, white lead-and- oil paint tinted as desired shall be applied over the rod lead paint. Formulas--The following white lead formulas take no account of tinting materials. See Paragraph No. 7 when adding colors to the formulas. It will be noted that the formulas for painting exterior wood are on the basis of soft paste white lead as well as heavy paste white lead. For flat effects in side, the heavy paste is to be preferred, as the higher oil content of the soft paste will give more of a sheen to surfaces painted with it.

The painter may, in rare cases, find it . advisable to increase the quantity of turpentine, as in southern exposure to prevent blistering. Where thi9 is done,, a corresponding decrease should be made in the specified amount of linseed oil If the wood is very resinous, such as cypress, prepare it for priming by brushing on a mixture of 1 pt. linseed oti, 1 pt. turpentine and 1 pt. drier.
