COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Adhesive Paste or Paste Compound.
I, SARAH HANNAH YOUDE, of 1, Church Road, Stanley, Liverpool, in the County
of Lancaster, Bill Poster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement: -
This invention has mainly for its object the manufacture or production of an
improved paste, or paste compound, by which bills and other things can be more
ovenly or smoothly, and economically and cleanly pasted, than by the pastes com-
monly employed at present; and also which will not discolour the prints, or other
things pasted with it; and in connection with its use and application by bill
posters, and others using paste under similar circumstances, it has for its object
and effect the providing of the special characteristic of enabling posters and other
like hills, to be firmly stuck on uneven surfaces, such as unplaned boards, or other
surface, and ensuring their remaining there for a considerable time, even in wet
and windy weather.
The ingredients which I employ, and their proportions, that is their preferable
proportions, by which the best results can be obtained, are as follows:-
The above comprise the solid ingredients of the paste to be made.
As to the liquid portion, namely, water, and the manner of preparation of the
paste, the following quantity and method can be adopted in connection with the
above qualities, with the best advantage as a bill-poster's paste; and for any other
purpose it may also be advantageously followed:
To make the paste, the above ingredients, when thoroughly mixed together, are
placed in the bottom of the pan or receptacle in which the paste is to be made,
and 1 pints of cold water are poured onto it, and the two are stirred round a
few times. Then another half pint of cold water is added, again stirring round a
few times; and then after this, boiling water is slowly added until the whole
inaterial is equal to three gallons, that is, three gallons of paste stirring the whole
briskly all the time the boiling water is being added. If this manner of mixing
be followed, a good sticking paste without lumps, of a good white colour, and
having strong adhesive and other properties and characteristics referred to, will

and will keep good for any reasonable length of time; as also will the compound,
in the form of a powder, of the dry portion of the ingredients above specified. It
also holds well in the brush, and is thus economical, not dropping out of the brush
onto the floor. And then, a further advantage in connection with bill-posting,
and like purposes, is, that it puts a glaze or gloss on the bills or other things being
posted, and so keeps them clean for longer periods than ordinarily is the case.
After mixing as above described, the paste is ready for use, but it is more econo-
mical to use it when it has become cold. In the cooling a skin will be found on
the top; this must be thrown away.
The paste, although particularly serviceable to bill-posters, is equally useful to
paper-hangers, house-decorators, in commercial houses, households, offices, and
other users of paste.
It is to be stated in conclusion, that while the paste having the best qualities is
that produced by the use of all the ingredients, as specified, in combination, yet,
there may be substituted for one or more of the articles specified, their known
equivalents; and one or other of the ingredients may be omitted without departing
from the main constitution of the substance produced. And it is also to be
understood that the invention the subject of the application for patent may exist
as, or take the form of a paste compound, made up as a dry powder, as described,
and also as a paste, made ready for use; in either of which forms it may be sold.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The herein described new or improved adhesive paste as paste compound,
comprising the ingredients substantially as set forth.
2. As an improved adhesive paste or paste compound, the ingredients described,
in the proportions specified; particularly as set forth.
