page_text: We, EDWIN HENRY BELL, Clerk, and WILLIAM HENRY SHERWILL, late Sergeant
Royal Artillery, both of Lord's Hotel, St. John's Wood, in the County of London,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an improved polishing paste for plate, harness, brass
and the like.
An important feature of our improved polishing paste is that it retains the
lustre for several days in all atmospheres, and instead of taking the lacquer off
plate it preserves it.
Our improved polishing paste consists of a mixture of the following ingredients,
mixed together in or approximately in the following proportions, viz. ;-
pounds of whitening
20
2 to 3
"
"
hard yellow soap
8
"
soda
"
oxalic acid
"
22
ounce
"
isinglass
1
pint
" vinegar
t to
to
1 to 2 pints linseed oil
"
If it is desired to produce a coloured paste, ½ to 1 pound of brillantine, pre-
ferably in the form of powder, can be added to the above ingredients, according
to the strength of colour required.
In preparing the polishing paste, the whitening, soap, soda, oxalic acid,
isinglass and vinegar are preferably all boiled up and rendered together for about
12 hours, and when cold, the brillantine and linseed oil are added and the whole
thoroughly mixed or incorporated together in any suitable manner.
In some cases, moreover, we prefer to add from ¼ to ½ ounce of mercury to the
above ingredients.
