METAL PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Specification No. 1
. Exterior Exposure
Discussion--In the following specification, which applies to buried or exposed steel alike, SherwinWilliams. Kromik Metal Primer and Sherwin-Williams 'Metalastic are called for.. Kromik Metal Primer is specified because of its particular suitability for use as a protective coating to be applied directly to metal. Metalastic is specified on account of its particular suit ability as a final protective coating'which will staunchly guard against clanger to the undercoats.'
In the manufacture of Sherwin-Williams Kromik Metal Primer, chromates`play a highly important part.
Authorities are agreed that the use of chromates is a
stainless steel cutlery. Another interesting test is the
well-known .Sherwin-Williams, razor'blade test in which the razor blade--submerged in water carrying a certain percentage of chromates--remains, bright a year after the razor blade submerged in untreated water has been reduced to rust.
Kromik Metal Primer has the following advantages for use on structural steel as compa red with red lead, which is recognized a.s a standard material with many years standing, for this type of work and which is a most
excellent paint in itself: Kromik is noticeably easy to apply, especially in difficult and inaccessible members; it is npf affected by sulphur compounds in the air and show.4$iriarkediy"greater durability where it lies uppro-
very wise procedure in a metal protective primer in tended to be applied direct to the metal surface for the prevention of rust. In tests extending over a period of five years or more, all paints containing chromates have made a uniformly excellent showing. Chemists explain the function of chromates as having the tendency to ^ renderthe surface of steel passive, or in other words, chromates reduce the tendency of the metal surface to set up. galvanic action or electric currents within itself. An. interesting application of this principle is found in
tected^pn . the job for any period of time. Kromik inhibits corrosion and shows a very favorable lower
material cost. Kromik is Sherwin-Williams' 'standard recommendation for a priming coat oh all metal work, v
Sherwin-Williams Metalastic is our standard speci fication for finishing coats on structural steel work.

DAMPPROOFING OF FOUNDATIONS
Specification No. 7 ,
Discussion--Sherwin-Wniinms Antydamp is ap
plied to-the exterior of Concrete or masonry foundations
below grade, to prevent the penetration of moisture
through foundation walls, and thereby making dry base
ment walls possible. Antydamp is a .damp-resisting,
nlkaliproof, acidproof, black paint Of asphalt type. It is
very heavy in body, and will remain in a semi-tacky and
elastic condition indefinitely, thereby preventing the
cracking of the film with the resultant penetration of
dampness into the foundation walls.
Sherwin-Williams Antydamp will cover, approxi
mately 25 to 40 square feet, two coats tp the gallon.
It comes ready for application and is applied cold, ex
cept in very cold weather when it is necessary to heat
slightly before applying.
Antydamp should be applied in;full coats without
endeavoring to brush the material out too mucl|, because
the heaj/ier'the coating is; the more'protection it affords.
In applying Antydamp;; it is recommended that a three
or four-knot roofing brush be used.
- Where- there is a presence of hidden springs or
marshy land, or hydrostatic pressure in any form around
the foundation, the-use of two coats of Antydamp is not
sufficient. Under these conditions/ it will be necessary
to alternate at least two layers of cheap burlap or felt
paper with Antydamp. Special instructions regarding
procedure to bp followed will be supplied upon request. , Specification--The exteriorof all foundation walls below,
grade, prior to any backfilling, shall be dampproofed by the' application of two full coats of Sherwin-Williams Antydamp Foundation Damp-Proofing in the consistency supplied by the I manufacturer. Twenty-four hours shall be allowed for drying | between the first and second coats, and at least 24 hours shall' be permitted to elapse after the second coat has been applied.1 before backfilling. .

This,is advisable for two reasons: first, the control of the decorative effect in color, as required by the type of building, which paint affords, and the ease in which the building can be cleaned up in appearance and the change of color scheme effected. Second, painting a, concrete wall renders it watertight and prevents the appearance of hair line cracks and chipping off caused by the penetration of moisture and frost.

No one appreciates more than, the architect the
decorative value of properly finished woodwork. This section, therefore, is offered to provide information in
`the. simplest.and most useful form which will enable the architect to specify* the definite procedure necessary to
produce the desired effect;" Open and Close Grain Woods--The' majority of
hardwoods, with the exception of maple, are open grain ; v> e,, have open pores which follow the figure at the *rain. The decorator turns this characteristic to advan tage when it is desirable to emphasize the character of the grain. For example, mahogany finishes, are im proved through emphasizing the grain with a black or cd-black paste filler. Silver gray finishes are improved by using a light colored toner, either white or gray, which Usually is lighter than the general color of the
wood. Several years ago the mission finish was popular
This consisted of a slain and a light coat of shellac and
dull varnish. It left the pores of the wood unfilled,
and served only to protect the.* wood, retaining a sort
of. craftsman quality. The ;ame idea is used in so-
called open pore finishes for walnut furniture and w k k 1-
work.
'* ,, *
Gose-grain woods have no open pores and do not
require tfye use of a paste filler. Needless to say, a paste
filler is aft additional coat in the finishing process and
natural!^ adds to the cost of-the finish. Architects
should bear this in mind when selecting wood trim,
where cost of finishing is an im|>ortant factor.
In order to differentiate reacjily between open-grain
and close-grain woods, so that architects may know
which of "these woods require paste wood filler in the
finishing process and which dq not a list of the better ;
