These Paints will stand any climate, without
crack or blister, and harden by exposure; thus
making in time enamel of Stone, protecting
Wood from decay, and Iron and other metals from
rust and corrosion. They differ essentially from
the so-caled Mineral Paints of the day, which are
principally oehres, and Clays, and are entirely
worthless.
SILyER'S Plastic Paints are purely METAL
