Patent Leather Process.

Japanned leather, generally
called patent leather, was first
made in America.
A smooth glazed finish is first
given to calfskin in France. The
leather is curried expressly for
this purpose, and particular care
is taken to keep it as free as pos
sible from grease.
The skins are then tackled on
frames and coated with compo-
sition of linseed oil and lumber
in the proportion of eighteen gal
Ions of oil to five of lumber, boil
ed until nearly solid and then
mixed with spirits of turpentine
to the proper consistency.
Lampblack is also added when
the composition is applied in Or
der to give color and body. From
three to four coats of this are
necessary tG form a substance to
receive the varnish. They are
laid on with a knife or scraper.
To render the goods soft and
plant each coat must be very
light and thoroughly dried after
each application. A thin coat is
afterwards applied of the same
composition Of proper consistency
to be put on with a brush and
with sufficient lampblack boiled
in it to make perfect black
When thoroughly dry it is cut
down with scraper having turn
ed edges, when it is ready to
varnish.
The principal varnish used is
made of linseed oil and Russian
blue, boiled to the thickness of
printers ink.
1t is reduced with spirits Of
turpentine TO suitable consisten.
cy to work with brush then
and applied in two or three sep
arate coats, which are scraped
and pumiced until the leather is
perfectly filled and smooth. The
finishing coat is put on with
special care in room kept closed
and with the floor wet to prevent
dust.
The frames are then run into
an oven heated to about 175 de-
grees.
