Cement wash; Take the fresh Rosen-
dale cement three parts, clear sand one
part and mix them thoroughly with

must be mixed together. If white Is

keep all the ingredients of the cement
wash we'll stirred during its application.
The mixture must be made as thick as

on with a whitewash brush. To color
the whitewash use any shade OF Dia-
