I, ALFRED TOLHURST of 1, Bowling Green Place, Green Lane, Farringdon

nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to a new or improved composition for the preservation
of iron, steel, wood and stone from rust, corrosion and scaling and for preventing
the fouling of ship's bottoms and consists of a mixture of peroxide of iron,
sulphide of zinc, barytes, gold size, boiled oil and turps.
The composition is applied to the surface of the iron &c. with a scraper, using
sufficient to make a level surface, care having been first taken that said surface is
perfectly clean and free from grease and grit and in the case of iron, from rust
and dirt.
A hard polish can be obtained by a moderate amount of friction before the
composition has quite set. A clean, soft rag or its equivalent is best for this
purpose.
