WHY GOOD PAINT SOMETIMES FAILS. 1st: Cheap, poor lumber under it. I'd: Moisture, sap, sOOt or grease under it. Sd: Non-drying pigments, like 0chre, metallic, etc., used in priming. 4th: Non-dryiDg oils or oily, fatty, non- drying paint used in priming. 9th: on paint like varnish instead of rubbing out well under the brush. We'll brushed, thin layers are best. work. Two coats cannot wear well. 7th: Not allowing time for drying between coats. .,- Sth: Excess of oil in the under coats, especially the middle one in three-coat work. Under coat, | more elastic than top coat. l 9th: CareleSSneSS or lack of judgment | in methods of application. 10th: Thin ming too much with oil, turpentine, | etc., to save labor and cost of material. | l1th: In cold weather when fire is | used for drying plaster, painting be- fore the plaster is dry. Things to Re- member About Painting: 1st: A DOT one. 2d: Boiled oil is more apt to crack than raw. Sd: Do not thin paint with oil or turpentine too much in order to save elbow grease. 4th: On old painted work, sometimes the first coat requires turpentine to make it stick. 9th: Turpentine often pre- vents blistering on work exposed to hot sunlight. 9th: In cold weather a little turpentine is often necessary in under coats, because oil thickens in cold weather and is apt to dry too harder and more quickly than those above them, forming a firm and un- yielding foundation, The difference in drying between adjoining coats should not be very great. If the un- der coat dries glossy, succeeding coats will be apt to flat quickly, blister, crack, etc. 8th: In cold weather, do not paint until clustering is thorough ly dry. 9th: Never use cheap japan; the best only in cases of emergency. 10th: Good turpentine is crystal clear, not yellowish. 11th: Good linseed oil is clear, of pale yellowish color, and dries we'll. If it is of greenish color, it is made from impure or unripe seed. If it is cloudy, it is not we'll settled. 18th: Remember that to get good re- suits with paint good brush is neces- Sary. One with plenty of good, stiff 1 briStles in it will do good work, while a soft, flabby brush cannot do it. John Hannon of Nicholas Square, sells all kinds of good paint and can satisfy you.
