DU PONT PREPARED PAINT
Description: Du Pont Prepared P;rint * the result of the combinei] experience of over 125 years of good p;nH making. It is a projxTly bal anced, scientifically prepared paint, u>iin only those ingrodimis which have proved to produce the most durable, long-wearing ami all-around satisfactory paint.
If applied according to directions and under the projicr conditions <lu Pont Prepared l\unl will give the maximum in protection of the surface, durability- and im proved appearance. The lal>el of rlu Pont Pre pared Paint shows the analysis of tin* product In the can. Mich color is made according to a previously determined standard lor shade consis tency and weight. Knelt balcli of rlu Pont Pre pared Paint as it is manufactured is checked against both wet and dry standards to insure absolute uniformity.
In addition to our superior chemical control of manufacture, many of the most im|iortaiU ingredients used in our points Are of our own manufacture. The white lead, for instance, is made at our Philadelphia Plant and has no superior from the standpoint of fineness and whiteness. The tintsand solid colors are made from our own dry colors and arc unsurpassed for clearness of tone and permanency of color.
Only the highest-grade raw materials arc acceptable for use in du Pont Prepared Paint and $11 must conform to our exacting specifications. Prac
tical tests conducted over a period of years by the American Society for Testing Materials and other organizations have proved that "Paints
made from the proper mixture of more than one prime white opaque pigment, either when used alone or in combination with small percent ages of inert pigments, are far superior to any single pigment paint."

Superiority to Hand-Mixed Paint: It is impossible to mi by hand with the same degree of perfection as can be done with m ery. Du Pont Prepared Paint has greater spreading capacity than mixed paint, due to the fineness of grinding and the complete and t b
mixing of pigment with the vehicle.
Our scientifically balanced formulas mixed and ground by p machinery insure a |x*rfect and long-wearing film which can obtained where the paint is mixed by hand. Furthermore, every each shade of du Pont Prepared Paint is of unvarying uniformity pared with the standard for that particular color. You can, theref du Pont Prepared Paint with the assurance that each can of o give will be of the same color, the same consistency and the same weig
Spreading Capacity: Du Pont Prepared Paint will spread an of 350 to 400 square feet per gallon two coats applied according t tions. Inferior mixed paint spreads very much less than this. 'P should be borne in mind when selling paint. The truly economic
is thatwhich covers the greater surface. Do not figure paint cost cost per gallon, hut rather by the number of square feet of Mirfaiv c
In addition, since the largest percentage of the cost of painting i
15
<m>
PAINTS, VARNISHES AND ENAMELS
labor involved in its application, it is {nr mure economical to use a paint that will spread easier and go farther than to apply an inferior product that works hard under the brush and lias much smaller spreading capacity.
Amount of Paint Required: This varies according to the condition of the surface and manner of application. To ascertain the number of gallons necessary for two coats, multiply the distance in feet around the building by the average height and divide the product by 350, theaverage spreading capacity per gallon two coats.

Divide 2100 by 350, which results in 6 gallons, the amount required for two coats.
Directions for Application: Du Pont Prepared Paint is furnished in
ready-mixed form in the consistency usually required for finishing coat work. Thisis done for the reason that various types of wood and various conditions of the surface require separate and distinct treatments, neces sitating the addition of the proper thinners to completely satisfy the surface.
In general, the following directions'should lx* observed:
For close-grained, non-absorbent woods, such as yellow pine, maple, cypress, fir---first coat should be reduced with one part of pure raw lin seed oil and two parts of pure spirits of turpentine in the proportion of 1 to pints to the gallon of paint. Second mat should l>e reduced with two parts of raw linseed oil and one part of turpentine in the proportion of one pint to the gallon of paint. Third coat should Ik ? applied as received in the package after thorough stirring.
Close-grained woods, medium alisorbcrs, such as white pine, poplar, red wood and cedar, require the addition of equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine in the proportion of 1 to lyi pints to the gallon. Second coat should be reduced with two parts of raw linseed oil and one part of tur pentine in the proportion of one pint to the gallon of paint. Third coat to be applied as received in package after thorough stirring.
Open-grained woods, good absorbers, such as hemlock, chestnut, oak, etc., add for the first coat two parts of linseed oil and one part of turpentinein the proportion of 1 to \y{ pints tot he gallon of paint. Second coat

A L>U PONT FINISH FOR EVERY SURFACE
dWPSB)
should be reduced with equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine in the pro|>ortion of one pint to the gallon of paint. Third coat applied as received in the package after thorough stirring.
These directions for reduction of first and second coats are ncivsMrily only of a general character and must be tempered to meet the cv.iet con ditions of the surface to Ik ' [Minted.
See that the surface is dry nnd free from dust and dirt. Coat all knots or sappy streaks with shellac prior to the application of the first coat. Na holes, cracks and crevices should be filled up with linseed oil'pmty afte the priming coat is dry. Thorough brushing of all coats is absolutel necessary. Brush each coat well into the wood. Allow at least 48 hour !>ctween coats for drying, longer if possible. Drying depends upon atmos pheric conditions. Do not hurry it by adding harmful driers. Sufficien drier is incorporated in du Pont Prepared Paint when manufactured.
Make sure that the first coat on new wood surfaces is of the same mate rial as is used for second and finishing coats. Do not, under any circum stances. apply du Pont Prepared Paint over a priming coat of ochre an linseed oil, or any other prrxluct of inferior character which is sometime used for priming purposes. On the value of the priming coat depends th results secured from finishing coat work.
For the most satisfactory results employ a reliable painting contracto where the work to be done is of an extensive character. A good painter familiar with surface conditions and the manner in which each coat shou be prepared for successful application.
Previously Finished Surfaces: The amount and character of thinne
will depend upon the condition of the surface to be painted. In gener for first coat reduction use two parts of raw linseed oil and one part turpentine in the proportion of \}4 to 2 pints to the gallon of paint. the old paint is peeling, scaling or blistering, or is in extremely bad shap it should be entirely removed by either burning off or scraping. Brush t first coat well into the surfare and allow ample time for thorough dryin If two coats are required, the finishing coat should be applied as receiv in the package. Always stir thoroughly.
Packages: Du Pont Prepared Paint is furnished in barrels, half b
rels, five-gallon cans, one-gallon cans, half-gallon cans, quarts, pints a
half-pints.

BATH TUB AND REFRIGERATOR ENAMEL
Description: An exceptionally durable and hard-drying white enamel that is resistant to hot or cold water, moisture, etc.
Ueee: Originally prepared for use on the interior of metal bath tubs.
May be also used as a finishing coat on the interior of refrigerators and for finishing walls of swimming pools and similar surfaces.
Directions for Finishing Swimming Pools: In many cases, the correct finish on work of this kind depends more on the proper application of the paint than on the paint itself. One of the es sentials is plenty of time to permit the different coats to dry properly, and the final coat to dry hard. The surface should be thoroughly cleaned --grease or oil should l>e removed by washing with gasoline or benzine, and dirt by washing with soap and water. The surface must be thoroughly dry before the first coat is applied in order to permit proper penetration of (he paint.
i ' The surface should first be washed with the sulphate of zinc solution as referred to on page 3fi. This should be done only if the concrete is green or damp. It is not necessary if the pool has been allowed to stand
i for six or eight months. When dry, go over the surface with a stiff bristle i brush, removing whatever crystallization is present. Then apply a coat
of du Pont White Enamel Undercoat, thinned with du Pont Elastic Wall ! Primer if the surface is of a porous nature, or with tuqientinc if the sur

face is hard and non-porous. This is essential in order that pni|HT a hesion be obtained in the firHt cont. The thinning should run fium \ to 2 pints per gallon. The .second coat should be du Pont While Enam Undercoat applied as received in the package after thorough stirrin If the surface is rough a third or fourth coat of du Pont White Enam Undercoat is advisable. This coat when completed niusi In- co tinuous so that there will l>c no break in the film whatever, which wou permit the water to get hack into the concrete and later force the pa away. Next apply equal parts of du Pont White Enamel Underco and du Pont Bath Tuband Refrigerator Enamel White, seeing (hut the are thoroughly mixed one with the other. Allow plenty of time for dryi and apply a finishingco.it of du Pont Bath Tub and Refrigerator Enam just as received in the package after thorough stirring.
These are the best recommendations that can be made for this s face. The conditions which the finish must meet are ext remedy seve and satisfactory results are uncertain. This fact should lie borne mind when swimming pools are painted.
Directions for Application to Other Surfaces: The surface sho l>e dry and clean. Scaling or peeling paint should be removed by scr ing or wire-brushing. On new surfaces a sufficient number of coats du Pont White Enamel Undercoat should be applied to build up the fo dation so that the finishing coat of Bath Tub and Refrigerator Enam will produce a satisfactory finish.
On a new surface at least two, preferably three, coats of the Underc should be applied. Then follow with two coats of Bath Ttfb a Refrigerator Enamel, reducing the first coat, slightly with turpent Allow ample time between coats for thorough drying. For Inst res each coat of Undercoat should be rubbed down lightly with fine sa paper before applying the next coat.
Previously Finished Surfaces require thorough cleansing by wash with hot water containing some ammonia. When dry, sandpaper ligh and dust carefully. Then apply one or more coats of White Ena Undercoat as may be required. Follow with one coat of Bath Tub Refrigerator Enamel as received in the package after thorough stirr If two coats are necessary, sandpaper first coat lightly when dry, d carefully and follow with finishing coat as directed.
Packages: This material is furnished only in White in 54 pints, pints, pints and quarts.

DU PONT VARNISHES
The famous "Yellow Can" Line of du Pont Vamishe9, formerly sold as Chicago Varnishes, have had a reputation for quality and value for over a half century. These varnishes are specified by leading architects and recommended by discriminating master painters everywhere.
The real secret of the economy and satisfaction in du Pont Varnishes is specialization. Years of test and experiment by du Pont Chemical Engineers have developed specific finishes for each specific purpose*. In each are found the elements essentia) to super-service for the particular work at hand.
For instance, there's Supremis, for floors of lasting lustre---the first varnish made especially for this purpose; Shipoleum, the long-wearing glossy varnish for furniture and woodwork; Navalite, the spar varnish .that defies the weather; Chi-Vo, for a beautiful, dull rubbed finish on inside work.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE
New Surface*: The surface to l>e varnished must be dry, clean and free from dust and dirt. If previously stained with du Pont Penetrating o Acid Stains see that a coat of du Pont Stain Sealer is applied and allowed to dry prior to varnishing. This is necessary to prevent the stain from bleeding through subsequent varnish coats. Sandpaper the surface lightly and dust carefully. For best results, the work should be done at a tem perature of about 70 F. Do not permit draughts to blow on the freshly varnished surface. Keep down all dust while varnishing. Apply with soft, flat varnish brush, flowing it on to a smooth, even finish. Allow sulTicient time for drying, sandpaper lightly or rub down with steel woo dust and apply the second coal in the same way.
Previously Varnished Surfaces may be revamished by mossing down with steel wool sufficiently to remove a portion of the gloss and dusting carefully. Apply one coat of the varnish selected, flowing it on to smooth, even finish.
Certain varnishes may be rubbed, when dry, with pumice stone an water, or pumice stone and oil, to a smooth, piano polish. Only thos should be so treated which so state on the label.
Spreading Capacity varies, depending upon the nature of the surfac and the character of the varnish used. An average is 500 to 600 squar feet per gallon one coat.

Suggestions for General Painting
"DON'TS"
Don't paint over a wet surface or during wet weather.
Don't paint over a surface that is not perfectly clean and dust-free.
Don't pile a number of paint coats, one un top of the other. In time the coats will be so heavy that they 'will break down of their own weight. It is necessary to remove piled-up coats at intervals, so as to prepare the proper foundation for the new finish.
Don't apply paint too heavily. Brush out each coat thoroughly.
Don't fail to thoroughly stir the paint l>efore application. This means seeing that all lumps or heavy portions are thoroughly mixed with the liquid part of the paint.
Don't apply succeeding coats without allowing sufficient time for thor ough drying. It is better to allow too much time than too little.
Don't fail to paint surfaces with sufficient frequency to prevent decay and deterioration. It is false economy to attempt to save money by failure to paint when painting should be done.
Don't fail to putty all nail holes, and cracks after the priming coat has Iwen applied. The attempt to putty these places before putting on the priming coat will result in the absorption of the linseed oil in the putty by the wood and produce crumbling of the putty him.
!>on't use a cheap or an ochre primer where satisfactory results are desired. The life and durability of a paint coat depend greatly upon the nature of the first coat applied direct to the surface.
Don't paint over any surface that is not thoroughly dry. Imprisoned moisture in lumber will be drawn out by the heat of the sun and bring the paint coats with it.
Don't apply paint on the exterior of a house until the fresh plaster work on the interior is thoroughly dry. otherwise, dampness will be drawn out from the inside by the heat of the sun and probably cause peeling and blistering of the paint coat.
Don't reduce a varnish paint or enamel with linseed oil. It will seriously retard drying and trouble may result. Use turpentine only.
Don't use an outdoor paint for inside work or vice versa unless specifically recommended for use in that manner.
