of Lancaster, Agent, and JAMES DICKINSON of Albert Square, in the same town,
Shoe Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to the preparation of anti-fouling composition for
protecting and preserving ship's bottoms and other submerged surfaces, applicable
also for coating metal, wood, and other underground surfaces.
In the preparation of such a composition according to our invention the
following ingredients may be used in about the proportions named :-vizt,
100 parts of resin.

bi-sulphide of carbon.
powdered lime.
paint or other coloring matter.
naphtha.
The resin together with the bi-sulphide of carbon, is placed in an air tight vessel
until the resin is dissolved. The lime and paint or other coloring matter are mixed
with the naphtha and the mixture is then added to the solution of resin and
bisulphide of carbon. The composition thus obtained is then ready for use and
may be applied cold.

Ships' Bottoms and other Submerged Surfaces, Applicable
also for Coating Metal, Wood, and other Underground
Surfaces.
We, GEORGE WASHINGTON CARB, of Waverley House, Fleetwood, in the County
of Lancaster, Agent, and JAMES DICKINSON, of Albert Square, in the same town,
Shoe Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
This invention has reference to the preparation of anti-fouling composition for
protecting and preserving ships' bottoms and other submerged surfaces, applicable
also for coating metal, wood, and other underground surfaces.
In the preparation of such a composition according to our invention the
following ingredients may be used in about the proportions named, vizt:—
:
100 parts of resin.

bi-sulphide of carbon.
powdered lime.
paint or other coloring matter.
naphtha.
The resin together with the bi-sulphide of carbon is placed in an air-tight vessel
until the resin is dissolved. The paint or other coloring matter is mixed with the
naphtha and the mixture is then added to the solution of resin and bi-sulphide of
carbon. The composition thus obtained is then ready for use and may be applied
cold. In practice we prefer to dispense with the use of powdered lime.
We do not limit ourselves to the precise proportions hereinabove stated as they
may have to be varied, firstly, according to the nature of the resin employed which
may require a greater or less quantity of bi-sulphide of carbon to dissolve it; and,
secondly, according to the nature of the paint or other coloring matter which may
also require a greater or less quantity of naphtha to render it of the required
consistency.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
1. The use or employment in anti-fouling composition of resin dissolved by
means of bi-sulphide of carbon.
2. The anti-fouling composition substantially as described for the purpose or
purposes set forth.
