CHARLES CAMOYANO, of No. 17ª, Percy Chambers, Charlotte Street, Fitzroy
Square, Middlesex. "AN IMPROVED FURNITURE-POLISH REVIVER AND METHOD OF
PREPARING THE SAME."
My Invention relates to an improved preparation or composition for the purpose
of reviving the polish on and preserving furniture generally, and an improved and
simple method for preparing the same.
I dissolve three quarters of an ounce of bees' wax shavings in two ounces of
spirits of turpentine by means of a vapour bath. When dissolved I add thereto
sufficient turpentine to make up to five ounces. This being well combined is placed
in a mixing-machine, in which it is to be thoroughly mixed. I then add thereto
eight ounces of linseed oil, one ounce of boiled oil, and five ounces of old brown
vinegar. These are stirred together for about a quarter of an hour, when I again
add one ounce and a half of butter of antimony and one drachm of wood naphtha.
I continue stirring the compound for about ten minutes, after which it is bottled
then the bottles containing the compound are passed through a vapour bath for the
space of about five minutes. The compound is then ready for use.
The above quantities vary according to the quantity I wish to make, and the
proportions of each may slightly vary, but I prefer to use those given.
I claim for my Invention superiority over all others of a like nature at present in
use. Its advantages are especially seen in its simple application to furniture, consi-
derably lessening labour, the improved polish it imparts, removing all ink and
other stains from wood, oilcloth, &c., and its preservative properties. The compound
also softens and preserves harness and leather.
