Their outstanding superiority is well known to all branches of American industry. They have achieved their distinction because of specialization to accom plish specific purposes. Arco Rays--The superior white coating of intense white ness and unusual durability for factory walls and ceilings. It_ goes on white, stays white and stays on. Arco Rays Mazda--A specialized Arco Rays for use where excessive exposure to moisture must be contended with. Arco Rays' Mazda will withstand the action of disinfectants and can be washed and cleaned as often as need be without affecting the attractiveness of the finish. Its use is suggested in laundries, hospitals, food factories, dairies and similar establishments. Arco Rays GAa--A specialized Arco Rays designed to withstand acid and alkali conditions. It secures maximum re sistance to the action of chemicals and will give positive pro tection to the surface to which it is applied. Rubber factories, dye works, bakeries, and similar industrial concerns find this product fitting their exacting requirements. Compound A permanently elastic, non-staining weatherproof and waterproof caulking, pointing, bedding and glazing com pound that does not dry out hard. It adheres tightly to masonry, metal, wood or glass. Made in natural or putty color, black, red, slate and green, and in two consistencies--one for use with a putty knife, and one for use in a caulking gun. Specifications for Caulking with Oakum and Arco Sterlastic--Wood or Metal Window and Door Frames and Ornamental Iron--(a) The general contractor will build in hi_s window and door frames or ornamental iron so that there will be a clear space % to Vi in. wide around the head and jambs and at least Va in. deep to receive the caulk ing material.

If space between frame Arco Methods--For Painting Concrete Surfaces and masonry is over % in. wide, general contrac tor shall have same blocked with wood strip or Laboratory research and practical tests have determined that no one coating can, by itself, satisfy all the conditions encountered in painting concrete surfaces. It is required that concrete coatings be waterproof, that they resist the action of free lime, that they withstand suction, that they be of sufficient body to produce a smooth surface, and that they have durability and wearing power under the most severe conditions. The following methods have been developed to meet these conditions. They represent a distinct achievement in this field. The Arco-Kote Method for Exterior Arco Cement First Coatcr waterproofs the surface, prevents suction and acts as an al kali resistant to prevent free lime from burn ing through to the finish coat. It also pro vides a perfect painting surface for the ArcoKote which is to follow. The finish coat of Arco-Kote, made in sixteen attractive shades, seals the pores with filled with cement mortar before caulking, so as to leave an opening as provided above.

It is made under the direct supervision of "Ripolin, Limited." in japan, or will be manufactured for quantity orders. Specification Data and Distribution Trade-marks This design is the identi fication mark for genuine Ripolin Enamel. All Europe knows this, famous trade mark'. The secret process of making Ripolin was discov ered in Holland thirty years ago. Since that time Ripolin An o t h er Ripo l in Mar k o f ' h<is been used throughout the In t e r n at io n a l Fa me civilized world. Ripolin specifications for every conceivable pur pose have been compiled in a convenient form for archi tects' handy reference. Copies will be gladly sent on re quest. Following are speci fications in most general use : Specification No. 1 Th e Fa mo u s Rip o l in Be n d in g Tin Te s t Description of Ripolin Enamel Ripolin is the original Holland enamel, now made in Holland, France, United States and Canada. It was developed by a Dutch painter and chemist named Reip, more than 30 years ago, and since then has met with success in every civilized country. It is made by a secret process. It is for both exterior and interior uses and is little affected by salt water and atmospheric changes. It is easy-flowing, dries without brush marks and forms a tough, lasting film. Specifications for special conditions supplied upon request. Specification for A11 Fine Grained Interior New Wood work--(Including all fine grained woods, white pine, whitewood. bass wood, etc.) Coal No. /--A priming coat of Ripolin Enamel Undercoat ing, thinned with 1 qt. of raw linseed oil and V> pt. of pure turpentine to the gallon. Coat No. 2--Full coat of Ripolin Enamel Undercoating. Coot No. 3--Full coat of Ripolin Enamel. Underrating. Coat No. 4--Ripolin Enamel Undercoating reinforced with 1 qt. Gloss Ripolin added to the gallon to stop suc tion. Coat No. 5--A good flowing coat of Scope of Use and Cost For architectural, general, commer cial, marine, railway and manufacturing purposes, where a permanent high grade, elastic enamel paint is required. Ripolin is used largely throughout the United States in private residences, hospitals, hotels, etc. Ripolin. It is allowable. to thin this coat with Va pt. of pure turpentine to the gallon. Coat No. 6--A good flowing coat of Ripolin as it comes from the can. Do not thin finishing coat of Ripolin. Notes: If expense is of prime impor tance, either Coat No. 3-or Coat No. S (only one) may be omitted. Economical Ripolin has much greater covering capacity than other enamels. Because of this fact and its wonderful opacity, and also owing to its easy and even flow under the brush, it is economical. Rip o l in Co n t ain e r s --Ev e r y Pa c k a g e Se a l e d Care must be taken to sandpaper lightly each coat so that there will be absolutely no brush marks on the surface to which the Ripolin is to be applied. Ripolin in itself will show no brush marks, but will magnify brush marks left in the under coats. Sw e e t 's 1930-SWEET-00091 Continued on next page The Glidden Company C3391 Specification No. 2 Specification for Interior New Woodwork--(Cedar, cypress, hemlock, yellow and Georgia pine, and other heavygrained, sappy woods; also birch and maple.) Coat No. /--A priming coat of Ripolin Enamel Undercoat ing thinned with 1% pt. raw linseed oil and 1% pt. pure turpen tine to the gallon. Notes: After applying coat No. 1 all woodwork should be thoroughly rubbed down with fine sandpaper or steel wool; Give the whole surface a light coat of thin white shellac which has been strained through cheesecloth. For coats Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 proceed as in Specifica tion No. 1. Specification No. 3 Specification for New or Unpainted Plaster Walls-- Coat No. /--A sizing coat made of 3 parts of alkali proof wall size and 1 part of Ripolin Enamel Undercoating. Coat No. 2--A full coat of 3 parts of Ripolin Enamel Undercoating and 1 part of alkali proof wall size. For coats Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 proceed as in Specification No. 1. The above method in bathrooms is more economical than tile and its resemblance to tile is most striking. Specification No. 5 Specification for Concrete or Portland Cement- Owing to the excess of free alkali and occasionally certain chemical conditions created by the process of manufacture of portland cement or concrete under vari ous formulas, difficulty has been experienced in obtaining paints to adhere firmly to these surfaces. The concrete'or cement must be thoroughly dry. All new concrete should be washed with a 30% zinc sulphate solution. Coat No. /--Stucolor cement coating which may be thinned with about a quart of turpentine to the gallon. Coat No. 2--The same approved cement coating. Coat No. 3--A good full coat of Ripolin of the luster desired as taken from the can. Notes: On a very rough laid cement an extra coat may be required to thoroughly cover the color of the surface, this being Ripolin Enamel Undercoating. For much exposed surfaces it is well to add one more coat of Ripolin as it conies from the can. In case two coats of enamel seem necessary it is well to make the first coat Semigioss Ripolin, the finish coat to be of the luster desired. Specification No. 4 Specification for Imitation Tile on Keene's Cement, King's Windsor or Adamant Plaster-- Any of the above plasters are especially good for this purpose. The plaster should be troweled as smoothly as possible, and while wet scored to the depth of to in. as desired. The most popular and satisfactory size tile for this purpose has been the 6-in. square or the oblong tile, about the shape and size of building brick. These effects are sometimes attempted with plaster of paris, but we would advise against this as unsatisfactory, owing to the extreme brittleness of plaster of paris and its tendency to crack easily. Notes: First wash the walls with weak vinegar or zinc sulphate to neutralize all free alkali present. Thoroughly dry before painting. Coat No. 1--A coat of Ripolin Enamel Undercoating, thinned with 1 qt. linseed oil and 1 pt. turpentine to the gallon. Coal No. 2--One coat of Flat Ripolin to be applied as it comes from the can. Coat No. 3--One coat of Gloss Ripolin which may be thinned with 1 qt. of turpentine to the gallon. Coat No. 4--A good flowing coat of Gloss Ripolin as it comes from the can. The joints should be lined up with Flat Ripolin to give a cement effect. Specification No. 6 Specification for Galvanized Iron Interior or Exterior-- Priming coats of lead should never be used on gal vanized iron under Ripolin. Wash surface with 10% solution of acetic acid; all trace of acid should be removed before painting. Coat No. /--Add I qt. of turpentine to a gallon of Gloss Ripolin. Apply a thin coat well brushed out. Allow this to dry at least 24 hours. Coat No. 2--Semi-gloss Ripolin as it comes from the can. Coat No. 3--A full coat of Ripolin of the luster desired as it comes out of the can. For all exterior work the final coat should always be Gloss Ripolin as* it is more weather resistant than the lesser degrees of gloss. Specification No. 7 Specification for Exterior or Interior Iron Work-- See that the surface of the iron is thoroughly clean and free from rust, grease and dirt. Coat No. /--Gloss Ripolin thinned with 3 pt. of turpen tine to the gallon. This is used in this way to bond per fectly to the metal. Coat No. 2--Semi-gloss Ripolin as it comes from the can. Coat No. 3--Good full coat of Ripolin of the luster de sired as taken from the can. 1930-SWEET-00092 Dik in g Ro o m Fin is h e d in Ty p ic a l Rip o l in Pa c k a g e A Rip o l in Fin is h e d Liv in g Ro o m C3397 JOHN LUCAS & CO., INC Paint and Varnish Makers SINCE 1849 322 Race Street PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Three specimen textures are illustrated on preceding page. The plastic paint prepared as described may be tinted prior to application, or may have colors-in-oil worked 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 into it while it is still wet. The finish sets up overnight painted within a year, it shall be aged artificially by washing and can easily be glazed to lend additional color interest.

All metal shall be painted with Na t io n al Lead Co mpa n y 's Dutch Boy red lead-in-oil, Dutch Boy Red Lead for Metal Pure white lead, properly thinned to suit the spe liquid red lead, or pure dry red lead and pure linseed oil mixed according to formulas hereafter given for each specific purpose. (7) Tinting Materials--In producing tints and shades, cial conditions under which the paint is to be used, gives John T. Lewis & Bros. Co. colors-in-oil or those of equally the best protection for wood and other building materials except metal. When it comes to the painting of metal, white lead (though good for the purpose) must yield first place to pure red lead. The chief requirements of a protective coating for metal are that it should have the ability to stick firmly high grade shall be used. If colors-in-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 to metal and that it should keep moisture, which com disappeared. Painting done in winter weather shall only be bined with air forms rust, from getting through. The paint must also be able to resist the destructive action of atmospheric gases, acid from the surface oil, and salt spray near the seacoast. Paint made of pure red lead meets these require ments. It is insoluble in water, unaffected by ordinary atmospheric gases, adheres closely to metal, and is a true rust preventive. A great advance in the quality of red lead was made when Dutch Boy red lead was perfected. It is a more highly oxidized product than old style dry red lead and is sold in paste form, ready for use after the addition of more linseed oil. Its exceptionally high true red lead content and the fineness of its pigment particles insure a paint of excellent brushing qualities, good cov erage and extreme durability. Sold in 100-lb. steel kegs and 50, 25 and 121/^-lb. steel pails. The same highly oxidized red lead can also be had in liquid form. The liquid product is called Dutch Boy done when the temperature is above 50 F. and when all sur faces are dry.

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 Dutch Boy soft paste white lead as well as heavy paste white lead. For flat effects inside, 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.

Wherever there is a possibility that either of the last two may be more suitable there will be found a cross reference to the number of that alternate. It will be noted that the Opex Lacquer Specifications carry the same number as the primary specification with the addition of the letter "A" and that the Architectural Brushing Lacquer Speci fications carry the same number with the addition of the letter "B." The specifications have been divide&and subdivided to such an extent that practically every condition will be found to have a separate specification. It is, therefore, essential that the user of this book refer first to the index before attempting to locate the specification for a par ticular purpose. This will avoid confusion and make the preparation of painting specifications much less difficult. Attention is also called to the General Conditions printed below. These have been made as complete as possible but it may be that local conditions will require changes or additions. In nearly all cases the subject matter under the heading of the specification number is divided into two parts--the discussion and the specification proper. The discussion usually describes the material which is specified and gives other related information which may have a bearing upon the work in question. The discus sion should be read before the specification is used. GENERAL CONDITIONS General--The following specifications, unless shall jeopardize the appearance or quality of the paint otherwise stipulated, are intended to cover the entire ing or finishing in any way, and the. architect or his finishing of all wood, cement, plaster, stucco and un superintendent shall have the right of rejection on all finished metal work throughout the interior and exterior material or work which is unsatisfactory and reserves of the building. the right to replace either or both at the expense of the Supervision--The contractor shall furnish all contractor. necessary tools, scaffolding, staging and labor required Protection of Work--The contractor shall take for the satisfactory performance of all work specified the necessary steps to protect his work and the work of hereinafter.

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 danger 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 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 render the 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 the use of ferro chromes in the manufacture of so-called 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 compared with red lead, which is recognized as 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 not affected by sulphur compounds in the air and shows markedly greater durability where it lies unpro tected on 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 on all metal work. Sherwin-Williams Metalastic is our standard, speci fication for finishing coats on structural steel' work. It is specified for the second and third coats and is a pro tective coating of the graphite type. Metalastic is a full oil paint which dries to a tough, durable and exceed ingly impervious film with high -water shedding prop erties. It is particularly fitted for use over Kromik Sw e et 's 1930-SWEET-00105 S-W PAGE 4 Continued on next page The Sherwin-Williams Co.

DAMPPROOFING OF FOUNDATIONS Specification No. 7 Discussion--Sherwin-Williams 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, alkaliproof, 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 7 dampness into the foundation walls. ^ ; Sherwin-Williams Antydamp will cover approxi- ' mately 25 to 40 square feet, two coats to 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. S* Antydamp should be applied in full coats without \ endeavoring to brush the material out too much, because the heavier 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 be followed will be supplied upon request. Specification--The exterior of 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 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, before backfilling. This dampproof material shall be applied with a three or four-knot roofing brush. Note: Sufficient space shall be provided, in digging the excavations, for men to have room to apply Antydamp to all parts of the foundation surface.

For Color Samples, see S-IV Pages 5 and 7. (Note'Specification No. 10.) - Specification--Before commencing work on exterior paint ing,' thelcontractor shall make sure by careful inspection that the surface to be painted is thoroughly dry and shall continue this vigilance throughout the time during which the exterior painting is being done, so that no painting shall be done under unfavorable conditions, such as immediately after a rain or during wet or frosty weather. Different kinds of lumber, however, require different treat ment, and we have, therefore, "suggested special treatment for certain kinds as mentioned. ,The greatest care should be taken in following the directions. Where the wood shows pitchy spots, these spots and all knots should first be coated with the best orange shellac before the priming coat is applied. . New Wood (Outside)--First Coat--On new soft wood or old weathered lumber a gallon of SWP should be thinned with one gallon raw linseed oil and one quart pure turpentine. For resinous woods, such as yellow pine or cypress, add two quarts turpentine and one quart raw linseed oil to each gallon of paint. After the priming coat has been permitted to dry, all nail- holes, cracks, and other defects shall be filled in with linseed oil and whiting putty.

Specification No. 12 Exterior Wood Surfaces (Old) to Paint Discussion--The following specification deals with the refinishing of previously painted exterior wood sur- * faces. One of the main features which the architect should watch is that, before applying the first coat of paint, all loose paint is removed from the surface by wire-brushing, scraping, or burning, that the surface is thoroughly diy, and that all knots and pitchy places which are evident through the old film are properly sealed with pure Orange Shellac. The advisability of using SWP (Sherwin-Williams Paint) is discussed un der Specification No. 9. See Color Semples on S-W Pages 5 and 7. Specification--Before commencing the painting of exterior surfaces, the contractor shall make sure, through careful inspec tion, that the surface to' be painted is thoroughly dry and in proper condition for refinishing, and shall continue his vigilance throughout the time during which the exterior painting is being done. The first coat shall consist of SWP (Sherwin-Williams Paint) thinned with one pint of pure raw linseed oil and one pint of turpentine added to each gallon.

Specification iVo. 20 Enamel Finish on New Wood and Metal Surfaces Discussion--Old Dutch Enamel Gloss is unresev- edly recommended by Sherwin-Williams for exterior enamel finishing. The architect may depend upon this specification and have full confidence that the finish ob tained with this enamel will last for years under the most severe tests. A most convincing proof of the endurance of Old Dutch Enamel exposed to climatic conditions is found in the fact that leading railways of the coun try have been using "Old Dutch" for years for the exterior finishing of coaches with complete satisfac tion. These cars are exposed to every conceivable climatic condition, ranging from the arid heat of sun baked deserts to the piercing cold of the mountain regions. Old Dutch Enamel is classed as a long-oil enamel, due to the fact that there is a much larger percentage of specially treated linseed oil in Old. Dutch than is possible to incorporate in enamels of the varnish type, hence the life of this enamel is naturally much longer than that of enamels of other types. Old Dutch Enamel has a fine texture, splendid gloss arid depth of tone which it retains even after years of exposure. Where the surface to be finished is of galvanized iron, one coat of Sherwin-Williams Galvanized Iron Primer should be applied as the priming coat. See S-JV Page 9 for Color Samples of Old Dutch Enamel. Specification--The contractor shall determine through careful inspection whether surface to be finished is dry and in proper condition for finishing. Before the priming coat is applied, all knots and pitchy places must be given a coat of pure Orange Shellac. First Coot--Apply SWP Flat White, reduced in the pro portion of one pint raw linseed oil and one pint turpentine to the gallon of paint. Second Coat--Apply SWP Flat White just as it comes from the can.. If it seems too heavy for certain work, thin slightly with equal parts pure raw linseed oil and pure turpentine. Third Coat--Apply S-W Old Dutch Enamel and SWP Flat White mixed in equal parts. Fourth Coat--Apply S-W Old Dutch Enamel just as it comes from the package. Note: S-W Old Dutch Enamel Dull Finish is not designed for exterior use. Old Dutch Enamel Gloss only is recommended for exterior exposure. Note: The fifth or final enamel coat is to be applied as soon as the fourth coat is sufficiently dry to permit. If, for any unforeseen circum stances, the fourth coat becomes hard before the fifth coat is applied, the fourth coat shall be "mossed" before applying the final coat. For best results, sand the first and second coats to a smooth surface with No. 0 sandpaper. T,he third coat shall be sanded smooth with nothing coarser than No. 0000 sandpaper.

Dries dull without rubbing or waxing.) especially where the stairs are not to be carpeted or pro tected from the characteristic scraping and scuffing of climbing1 feet. Where stair treads are to be finished in an oak color or left in the color of the natural wood, they may be finished in the same manner as recommended for floors, but in much of the modem residential work the scheme of interior decoration calls for staining the stair treads a dark mahogany or walnut color. The type of stain used to produce this effect is such that a floor varnish should not be applied directly over the stain. A spirit penetrating stain or an acid stain used to produce these darker effects reacts on the varnish if applied directly over the stain, resulting in poor drying, so that the finish frequently remains "tacky" or sticky. In a case of this kind there is no choice but to use a coat of thin pure white shellac to seal the stain into the wood before applying the varnish. Only just enough shellac should be used to seal the stain effectively.

Specification No. SO New Cement Floors--To Harden and Seal Discussion--Where cement floors are to undergo heavy wear, the floors can be materially hardened, dustproofed and sealed by three applications of SherwinWilliams Concrete and Cement Hardener. One gallon of Concrete and Cement Hardener will treat from 60 to 100 square feet of cement' surface, three applications, varying with the porosity of the surface. However, in estimating the quantity of this material required, it is problem in floor finishing. Here is a floor on which neither a varnish finish nor a shellacked finish is suitable. The finish must be thoroughly tough and elastic, yet must be slippery to enable dancing with ease. For this purpose, Sherwin-Williams Floor-Seal is recommended as a foundation for two finishing coats of S-W Prepared Wax. This finish in itself, however, would not wear indefinitely unless S-W Dancing Floor Wax be sprinkled over the surface each time before the floor is used. This renews the finish and keeps the floor in excellent condi tion.

PAINTING AND DECORATING OF INTERIOR WALLS (Continued) The painter likes Flat-Tone because of its ease of appli cation, strong hiding power, property of leveling out well, with freedom from brush marks. Of equal im portance to the painter is its unusual wet edge .which permits him to get back into it long after other flats have set to the point where brushing is impossible. Even with this slow early drying, it still dries hard over night under average drying conditions. It can be stippled if desired to eliminate any trace of brush marks, but for regular stipple work we recommend Wall Paint No. 96 (Heavy Body) (See Specification No. 41) which is similar to Flat-Tone except it has been bodied up to produce a on S-W Page 19.)

Second Coat--Apply Sherwin-Williams Flat-Tone. Notes: Allow to dry thoroughly between coats. Twenty-four hours is usually sufficient. When three-coat work is planned, the addition of two quarts of Wall Primer and Sealer to the gallon of Flat Tone for the second coat will present a tighter and improved surface on which to apply the third coat. Special Note: Painting Newly Plastered Surfaces--Th e Sh e r w in -Wil l ia ms Co . never advocates the painting of plas tered walls which have not been given an opportunity to dry out thoroughly. If "green" plastered walls are painted, there is would be likely to make a daub. Test the sponge on the window pane or a piece of dry newspaper to determine the kind of print it will give. When ready to stipple--which can be done as soon as the foundation coat is flatted out fairly hard--pour out a small quantity of the first stipple color on a piece of board or tin, as convenient. Use the sponge fairly damp in stippling and rub the bottom of it into the paint so as to thoroughly cover the surface. Tap the sponge always danger. However, there are certain occasions where walls which have not been given sufficient time to dry out thor oughly must be painted for commercial reasons; apply one coat Wall Primer and Sealer (see Specification No. 40). Where indications point to the presence of alkali (hot spots), we recom once or twice on a dry paper to remove surplus paint and stipple directly on to the wall. Use a straight firm stroke. Do not use a twisting or turning motion. Apply each print of the stipple next to the preceding one until mend washmg the surface with a solution of 1% to 2 pounds of the surface is entirely covered. Reload the sponge as zinc sulphate in a gallon of water. This should be brushed on the surface and sufficient time should then be allowed for drying before the first coat of Sher win-Williams Wall Primer and Sealer is applied. We, of course, do not guarantee that this procedure will prevent dis often as necessary. Where two or more stipple colors are specified, the next color may follow immediately if convenient.

'Specification No. 38 Flat-Tone System Finish on New Walls (Glazed or "Tiffany" Effects)--Rough or Smooth Plaster, Canvas Covered Walls, or Wall Board Discussion--Flat-Tone System Effects, frequently designated as Tiffany Effects, are produced over a foundation color of Flat-Tone. The finishing glaze coat is produced with FlatTone Glazing Liquid which is tinted to the desired color with colors in oil--Flat-Tone Glaze Colors. This coat is stippled as applied, using a cloth, sponge, or brush depending upon the texture or kind of print or pattern desired. The translucent quality of this glaze painted with an oil paint. Loose or scaly paint should be scraped off and these bare spots sealed as for new work. Flat-Tone Plastic Pigment may then be applied. Walls painted with water paint should be washed dean, allowed to dry, then sealed in the same manner as for new work. ,. Glossy finishes should be sandpapered dull to provide a tooth and assure proper adhesion. Portion of Plastic Pigment Required--For medium tex tures, mix in the proportion of twenty-five pounds of Plastic Pigment to five gallons of Flat-Tone. To a gallon of this mixture add from one-half to one pint of S-W Japan Drier. It is recommended that this mixture be allowed to stand overnight before using. In this proportion the material will be easily applicable with a brush, and will hold its form or print on the surface perfectly. More Plastic Pigment may be added for higher relief. If the surface is to be glazed, it is important that it.be absolutely tight. In this case it is recommended that one coat of Wall Primer and Sealer, tinted to the desired shade, be applied before glazing. The various shades of Flat-Tone will be only very slightly changed by the addition of Plastic Pigment. Any shade may be used successfully. coat permits the color of the ground coat to show Specification No. 40 through to a certain extent resulting in a luminous depth of color not possible to produce with a flat paint alone. This form of decoration costs more both in material and labor than three-coat flat work, but possesses decorative and architectural characteristics indispensable for cer tain treatments, such as "antique plaster," Tiffany work, etc. Flat-Tone Glaze System Effects are easy to wash and do not show soil readily. See Color Samples on S-W Page 19. Wall Primer and Sealer Discussion--Wall Primer and Sealer is just what the name implies, a primer and sealer for all types and kinds of walls in mills, public and office buildings and homes. The first coat must stop suction, it must seal the surface. It must have tightness with sufficient tooth to permit satisfactory bonding of the succeeding coat. This matter was given careful consideration in the develop Specification--After the contractor has inspected the wall surfaces to be finished to insure that they are perfectly dry and in proper condition for finishing, apply one coat SherwinWilliams Wall Primer and Sealer according to Specification No. 40 tinted to the shade of ground color selected, with Sherwin- ment of Sherwin-Williams Wall Primer and Sealer as was also, easy working, which would allow the painter to get over a large area.

Specification No. 39 fully inspected by the contractor, and if any flat spots appear as a result of incomplete sealing, or if .flat streaks over a crack or patch, all such surfaces should be given another coat of Wall Primer and Sealer. Allow sufficient time for thorough drying before applying succeeding coat. Under normal conditions 24 hours will be sufficient. This sealing coat is unnecessary on such surfaces as sized muslin, sanitas or primed metal.

MISCELLANEOUS SPECIFICATIONS Specification No. 60 duce a highly satisfactory finish on radiators and will Priming Galvanized Iron Surfaces Discussion--Palm oil used in metal galvanizing processes many times affects paint applied over gal vanized surfaces, with the result that the paipt will peel or flake off and present a highly unsatisfactory finish. Architects recognize the painting of galvanized metal as a real problem and will be glad to know of Sherwin- Williams Galvanized Iron Primer for the priming of surfaces of this type to insure good results. Specification--All galvanized metal surfaces, whether interior or exterior, shall be primed with one coat of Sherwin- Williams Galvanized Iron Primer. Care shall be exercised by the contractor before painting, to insure the fact that the sur faces which are to be painted are in good condition--all dirt, rust, grease, acid or rosin being removed before priming. The best way to' clean the surface is by washing thoroughly with a solution of copper acetate consisting of a solution of about six ounces to one gallon of water. (Subsequent coats will depend entirely upon the architect's own selection of finish. The surface can either be painted with a regular lead, oil and zinc paint, flat wall finish or enamel finish.) v Oil Colors--The selection.of the highest grade of oil colors for tinting purposes is really an important matter. Inferior colors, not fast to light, have ruined many painting jobs which otherwise were perfect. - Specify Sherwin-Williams First Qual ity Colors Ground in Oil.. These colors are fast to light and are ground in strictly pure refined linseed oil. not affect the efficiency of the radiation. This paint tends to bake to a hard film on radiator surfaces and tests made by the Paint Manufacturers Association of the United States upon radiators in their laboratories indicate that such a finish has a life of as high as nine to ten years without showing defects. Regardless of what types of paint are used in paint ing radiators, there is bound to be a slight change in color. White Damar Enamels will yellow slightly, while flat finishes, like Flat-Tone and colored enamels, will likewise change color slightly. This- is a condition for which a remedy has not been found up to the present, but the results all in all are highly satisfactory. . Specification--Before applying paint clean off dust, dirt and rust from radiators by wire brushing. Also remove any grease which may be present. Radiators must not be painted while they are hot.
