Purposes.
I, GUSTAVE COLLANTIER, of 10, Rue Poisson, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Painting Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved coating material adapted for use in imitating
stone as in the case of stucco, which, however, presents the advantage over the latter
of being employed in form of a layer, like a paint, to all kinds of surfaces such as
ashlar work, brick, wood, metal and so forth.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will successively indicate
the composition of this improved coating material and the method of employing the
same.
The following substances having previously been reduced to powder, are intimately
mixed. The proportions given are those required for one kilogramme of coating
0
The whole product having been thoroughly mixed, is applied to the surfaces to
be covered by means of a paint brush, the said surfaces having previously been
primed.
When the coating material commences to take, an elastic roller is passed over its
surface, which equalises the same and at the same time imparts to it a regular grain.

page_text: When the coating material has become sufficiently hard, the operation is finished by
rubbing the surface over with dry gravel or sand stone.
For obtaining mouldings and sculptures I make use of the following composition:
I mix the undermentioned substances which have been previously pulverized :
and add the following liquid:
The composition is likewise applied by means of a brush care being taken to
prevent as much as possible the hollow parts or recesses of the moulds and sculptures
from being stopped up.
After the hardening, the product is cleared and repaired by the aid of small iron
tools and finally rubbed over with gravel or powdered sandstone.
For the purpose of figuring or imitating stone joints I may draw respective lines
with a dye diluted with a volatile oil.

An Improved Coating Material for Decorating and Building
Purposes.
I, GUSTAVE COLLANTIER, of 10, Rue Poisson, Paris, in the Republic of France,
Painting-Contractor, 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 relates to an improved coating material adapted for use in imitating
stone as in the case of stucco, which, however, presents an advantage over the
latter in as much as it is capable of being applied in the form of a layer, like a paint,
to all kinds of surfaces such as ashlar work, brick, wood, metal and so forth.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will successively indicate
the composition of this improved coating material and the method of employing the
same.
The following substances having previously been reduced to powder, are intimately
mixed. The proportions given are those required for one kilogramme of coating
material.

page_text: The whole product having been thoroughly mixed, is applied to the surfaces to
5 be covered by means of a paint brush, the said surfaces having previously been
primed.
When the coating material commences to set an elastic roller is passed over its
surface, which equalises the same and at the same time imparts to it a regular grain.
When the coating material has become sufficiently hard, the operation is finished by
Orubbing the surface over with dry gravel or sand stone.
When treating mouldings and sculptures I make use of the following composi-
tion :
aulanicend
This composition is likewise applied by means of a brush, care being taken to
prevent as much as possible the hollow parts or recesses of the moulds and sculptures
from being filled up..
After hardening, the product is washed down and finished off by the aid of small
iron tools and finally rubbed over with gravel or powdered sandstone.
For the purpose of figuring or imitating stone joints I may draw the respective
lines with a dye diluted with a volatile oil. The proportions hereinbefore stated may,
if desired, be varied within certain limits.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
claim is
An improved coating material, for decorating and building purposes, termed
"stucatine," capable of being applied by the aid of a brush to the surfaces of all

page_text: kinds of building materials such as ashlar, brick, wood, metal and the like consisting
of a mixture of several calcareous substances diluted in a liquid formed of several
constituent elements in about the proportions stated.
Dated this 8th day of June 1899.
