Here's short set of rules for good
painting; good thing to follow:
/. Put on coats enough; two any
way, probably three. The first to
protect the wood; the second to pro-
tect the first; the third-if you paint
thereto protect the other two. 1t
makes one perfect coat that lasts for
ever, if you take care of it.
2. Take care of it by repainting
often enough to protect the first coat.
3. Often enough depends upon the
paint you use. Lead-and-oil goes off
in three years. on the average; chalks
off; washes off. Devoe lead-and-Zince
paint will probably do we'll twice as
long; maybe three times; and the first
coat is less.
In other words, you get about two
to one of lead-and-oil wear il you use
DevOe lead-and-Zinc paint.
