-
- WHAT IS COLOR?
-
-
-Color is an effect caused by the reflection of certain rays of light. In
-order to understand this statement, it is necessary that we know what
-light is. Science teaches us that light is a form of intense vibration
-which reaches the earth direct from the sun. These vibrations affect
-certain nerves of the retina of the eye, causing the sensation known as
-color.
-
-In the study of color, or in practice, it is necessary that we have a
-standard. The standard colors are those seen in the spectrum or in the
-rainbow. These colors are selected as standard colors because they are
-the true colors as reflected by pure light and they never change.
-
-In dealing with pigments the primary colors are yellow, red and blue.
-They are called primary colors because all other colors are produced
-from them, and because they can not be produced by mixing other colors.
-In other words, they are the original colors from which all other colors
-are produced.
-
-
-
-
- WARM AND COLD COLORS
-
-
-Cold and warm colors: Red warm, blue cold, yellow bright. White, which
-is also a cold color when added to black makes a cold gray. Yellow added
-to red forms a warm orange.
-
-
-
-
- MEANING OF COLORS
-
-
-White is said to mean purity; blue, fidelity or truth; red, love or
-sacrifice; green, envy; pink, modesty; violet, innocence; yellow,
-jealousy; black, sorrow or distress, and lavender, passion.
-
-
-
-
- ART OF COLOR MIXING
-
-
-Mixing colors is an art in itself. With a combination of the chief
-colors—red, yellow, blue (and black and white), thousands of shades and
-hues may be produced.
-
-Mixed in various proportions, either in twos, or all three together,
-these three colors produce every hue in nature or in art, every tint
-that is physically possible.
-
-The primary colors are yellow, red and blue.
-
-The secondary colors are orange, violet and green.
-
-The tertiary colors are citron, russet and olive.
-
-The secondary colors are made as follows: Yellow and red make orange,
-red and blue make violet, yellow and blue make green.
-
-The tertiary colors are mixed from the secondary colors as follows:
-Orange and violet make russet, violet and green make olive, orange and
-green make citron.
-
-Black, white and gray are natural tones in which no color is apparent:
-White pales but does not brighten any color. Yellow is the brightening
-color and always stands out strong and advancing; to deepen a color, use
-its complementary color; to deepen yellow add purple; to deepen red add
-blue; to deepen blue add burnt sienna, then you will have purity of
-color.
-
-
-
-
- THE TWO EXTREMES OF WARM AND COLD
-
-
-Vermilion or any other red of orange hue (warm). Bluish blue (cold).
-These two colors mixed together in certain proportions form light brown,
-dark brown, red-brown, neutral brown and scarlet red. Purple made from
-this combination is inferior.
-
-
-
-
- COLOR BLINDNESS
-
-
-Today, color-blindness is a serious difficulty in the way of a person
-earning a living. A generation or so ago, it was considered a matter of
-small importance. Many persons, suffering from the disease, went through
-life without knowing they were afflicted. The only persons, as a class,
-who were greatly affected by the problem were railroad men, who had to
-take tests for the distinction of colors.
-
-Today, with the common use of automobiles and the rapidly growing use of
-colored lights for signs and signals, color-blindness becomes an
-important matter.
-
-The defect is hereditary and much more common in men than in women. A
-woman may have normal eyesight herself and yet transmit the
-color-blindness to her children. This is because it is what the
-geneticist calls a recessive character. A man may have a color-blind
-father and still not transmit the defect. But a color-blind woman,
-married to a color-blinded man, transmits the defect to all off-springs,
-both sons and daughters.
-
-
-
-
- ALTERING COLOR
-
-
-To brighten color, add yellow; to give it warmth, add red. To brighten
-and warm, add orange. To deepen and cool, add blue. To cool and lighten,
-add green; to deepen and warm, add purple.
-
-Ultramarine blue contains sulphur and will tarnish with admixtures of
-pigment containing lead. Substitute zinc white.
-
-
-
-
- PIGMENT
-
-
-Pigment is any color preparation used by painters, printing pressmen,
-etc. Coloring matter is found in pigment cells of plants, tissues of
-animals and fish; in mineral form found in the earth, from coal,
-vegetables, etc.
-
-Pigments may be divided into two classes, the organic and the inorganic.
-Organic pigments are compounds of carbon and the inorganic all other
-pigments.
-
-Paints and printers’ inks are made from the same pigments; the
-difference is in the mordant. It all depends on the nature of the object
-to be colored. The mordant is the fixer which holds the pigment.
-
-The selection of color material should be carefully made. Purchase from
-reliable dealers an assortment of reds, blues and yellows, some black
-and white.
-
-
-
-
- NATURE’S COLOR CHART OF HARMONIOUS COMBINATIONS
-
-
-Nature has given us a wonderful color chart, of harmonious colors
-mingled together.
-
-Flowers furnish countless color combinations which are perfect in every
-detail. Colors ranging from soft, delicate tints to deep, rich solids,
-are found in great variety.
-
-Observe also the birds, whose plumage range from the most gorgeous to
-the so-called jet black raven or black birds; even they when viewed in
-sun or strong light reveal a picture of dazzling beauty. Beautiful tones
-and semi-tones of purple, green and blue blending perfectly with the
-black.
-
-It is unnecessary to mention in detail, the fields, woods and forest,
-the seas, the lofty, stately mountain peaks of somber hues silhouetted
-against an azure sky or viewed in the setting sun.
-
-
-
-
- COLOR HARMONY
-
-
-The secret of harmony is equal value, complementary colors are the color
-or colors which, with any color or colors mentioned, make the three
-primary colors, which constitute white light. For example if given color
-is a primary, its complementary color is composed of the other two
-primary colors; the complementary color of blue is orange, red and
-yellow. And if given color be a secondary, its complementary color is
-the remaining color. Thus the complementary color of green, blue and
-yellow is red.
-
-It is well to bear in mind whether the subject to be treated is a
-landscape scene, color design, form to be printed in colors, sign or
-house painting that equal value of colors is the correct way.
-
-Any subject that has been ill-treated with too much red, or colors which
-do not harmonize, form a combination that irritates.
-
-When colors are correctly used the effect is soothing. Remember that red
-is the most irritating color and a little will balance well with a large
-amount of other colors.
-
-The object to be painted or printed has a lot to do with the selection
-of colors. It is well to study the subject carefully.
-
-Printing pressmen have their problems. When printing on white material
-which is a neutral color he does not encounter the obstacles as when
-printing colored inks on colored material.
-
-All fine pictorial color printing is executed on white material, this
-being the only way to get pure coloring, as it is generally printed with
-transparent ink.
-
-
-
-
- MIXING TINTS
-
- Paints, Inks, Etc.
-
-
-Tint mixing is both interesting and profitable, but in order to obtain
-the best results, first-class materials are very essential. Great care
-should be exercised in the selection of this material, as the product of
-one manufacturer often varies, as to shade with that of another
-manufacture, therefore it is well for the color mixer to make it a rule,
-never to select colors promiscuously.
-
-With the following colors at hand all known colors may be obtained.
-Lemon yellow, which is of greenish hue; yellow of orange hue; red with
-orange hue; red which has a bluish cast. Blue with a reddish tone, also
-blue with a leaning toward green. A liberal supply of white and some
-black which does not contain blue.
-
-To produce a pure tint you must first produce a pure base of the primary
-colors. White, which is a neutral color, does not alter the original
-hue, it merely pales. In making pure greens from yellow and blue, the
-yellow and blue should contain none of the primary color red; use a
-greenish yellow and greenish blue. For pure orange use a yellow and red
-which contain none of the primary blue; the yellow must be of reddish
-hue, the red of yellowish cast. Pure violets are made with bluish reds
-and reddish blues. The red and blue should not contain any of the
-primary color yellow.
-
-Gray tint is white with black in various proportions. Neutral gray must
-be mixed from a black which is unadulterated with a mixture of blue. To
-warm, add a touch of red; to cool, add a small amount of blue. The
-object in making neutral gray as above mentioned is to make possible a
-true blending with other colors. For example, a bluish gray is desired,
-add blue to neutral gray until the exact shade is acquired; for orange
-gray add a touch of orange, etc., etc.
-
-Primary colors are made neutral by admixture, a medium or neutral yellow
-is obtained by mixing lemon yellow with orange yellow. The greenish
-tinge of lemon yellow is absorbed by the reddish tinge of orange yellow.
-Neutral red and blue is made in the same manner; likewise the blues.
-
-As has been previously mentioned, white when added for tinting purposes
-does not alter the hues. For example, the result of adding white in any
-quantity to purplish red is a purplish pink tint, the purple hue will
-remain.
-
-When warm tints are desired use a warm base. For warm pink select a red
-of orange hue, a cool pink from bluish red, a neutral pink must be made
-from a neutral base which is the result of adding primary bluish red and
-primary yellowish red.
-
-
-
-
- TO MATCH SPECIAL COLORS
-
-
-In mixing special colors or shades for large jobs, first mix a small
-quantity, write down exact proportions either by weight or volume, keep
-a record for future reference.
-
-If you have failed to keep a record and have a small quantity on hand
-and wish to duplicate it exactly, put a small amount on a piece of white
-paper and after mixing a little dribble or let it string across the
-original sample you can get a perfect match. Still another way; brush a
-small quantity on a piece of transparent glass, add a like amount of the
-paint you mix beside it and hold to the light.
-
-To match a specimen in printing ink; mix the color (small quantity), ink
-up press, pull an impression then with your make ready knife cut a small
-hole (any shape) in the most solid part of print, lay this over a solid
-part of sample.

-
-Scarlet and crimson furnish the base for carmine and lake. It requires
-seventy thousand dried bodies of this small insect to equal one pound of
-color.
-
-The task of gathering cochineal is a tedious one. They are gathered by
-gently brushing them into cloth sacks with brushes made of fur just
-before egg laying time, as only the bodies of the female can be used. At

- COLOR MIXTURES
-
- COLORS AS SEEN BY INDIVIDUALS
-
-
-The same color scheme does not appeal to every one. Persons of refined
-temperament are best pleased with soft, delicate colors and shades.
-
-People who are less refined admire deeper tones; yet want absolute
-harmony, while coarse individuals are satisfied with bright gaudy
-colors. Color is a sensation produced on the retina of the eye, by the
-action of one or more of the elements of light. Exact proportion by
-parts are not given in the following in order to let you be the judge of
-the exact shade. Follow the simple rule of using a little more of the
-dark colors of each color combination if a deeper shade is wanted and
-vice versa for a lighter one.
-
-You will note in the entire list of color mixtures different
-combinations to get practically the same color, scarcely no two persons
-view the same shade alike.
-
-In listing different mixtures for the same color you have a better
-chance of using up some of the many colors that would otherwise
-accumulate, also giving you your choice of the color that is best
-adapted to your needs. More than 10,000 colors, hues and tints can be
-obtained from this Guide. Example or rule for obtaining special shades
-such as are not listed. Look through the list, carefully select the
-combination that comes nearest to your requirements. If the listed color
-is too light add more of the darker colors or if too dark add the
-lighter colors.
-
-In mixing colors, always commence with the lighter and add the darker,
-otherwise you will mix a greater quantity than desired. In this list of
-color combinations the first named color always predominates; the others
-are named in the order of amount needed. Follow this rule unless
-otherwise instructed.

- HINTS FOR PAINTERS AND DECORATORS
-
-
-A house painted white not only looks cool, but is cool, as white
-reflects the sun’s rays. The effect at night is reversed.
-
-
-The amount of trimming color necessary is usually about one-fifth of
-that required for the entire surface.
-
-
-Do not paint damp or unseasoned, sappy or pitchy wood.
-
-
-Do not paint or paper walls having a northern exposure with cold color
-such as blue, gray or white. Use warm tones like rose, tan, etc. And in
-like manner better results are obtained by using the cold shades or
-colors in rooms with a southern exposure.
-
-
- COVERING CAPACITY OF VARNISH
-
-One gallon of varnish will cover approximately 300 square feet, two
-coats when properly flowed on.
-
-Varnish is transparent and therefore cannot hide any defects in a
-surface. If the surface is badly marred, use graining materials. Or
-cover up the old surface with a suitable paint or enamel.
-
-
-NEW WOOD.—Before varnishing new open grained wood such as oak, ash and
-mahogany, it is necessary to fill the pores with a good filler. Some
-prefer it in paste form. This is not absolutely necessary for
-close-grained woods such as maple, pine and birch.
-
-
-Paint for general purpose is composed of lead, zinc, linseed oil and
-turpentine dryer, which are the best known ingredients, excepting such
-colors that cannot be made from lead and zinc.
-
-Lead, when used alone does not make as serviceable a paint as lead and
-zinc ground together in pure linseed oil and colors. Zinc is recognized
-as an indispensable ingredient in paint. Lead, while quite necessary, is
-likely to change when used alone, by that is meant, it discolors easily,
-and when exposed to the air chalks off and leaves the wood exposed.
-
-Zinc, which is a more durable metal, retains its whiteness also gives to
-colors and permits incorporating the largest possible quantity of
-linseed oil, thus giving life and durability to the paint. A mixture of
-both lead and zinc, is, therefore, necessary to obtain best results to
-resist light, heat and cold.
-
-
- NEW WORK
-
-To secure best results, new work should have three coats, that is two
-besides the priming coat.
-
-Do not prime or apply paint to a new building until plastering is
-thoroughly dried out.
-
-
- ADULTERATING COLORS
-
-Do not imagine that the durability of paint is increased by the use of
-whiting, clay, silica and other cheap materials. They only make bulk and
-trouble.
-
-
- AGGREGATED FORM OF CHECKING
-
-Avoid “alligatoring,” which is a form of checking and frequently caused
-by applying finished coats over priming or second coats before drying.
-
-
- SEEDY, SPECKY, SANDY VARNISH
-
-You may find varnish to be full of small grains. This may be due to
-chill in transit or in storage, or a decided difference in temperature
-between the varnish and the work. Allow the varnish to reach the
-temperature of the work before applying. The same appearance may be
-caused by what painters term a “lousy” brush. USE ONLY AN ABSOLUTELY
-CLEAN BRUSH.
-
-
- PAINT FOR STIPPLING
-
-For rough stipple, mix your paint from equal parts of white lead in oil,
-zinc white in oil and dry plaster of paris (the latter of the finest
-grade). Thin down with raw linseed oil and turpentine in equal parts,
-adding two teaspoonfuls of pale japan to each pint of liquid. Make the
-paint just stout enough to apply with a wall brush and put it on in that
-consistency. When the surface has been so coated, and before the paint
-begins to set, use a good size stippler, and see that you do the work
-uniformly and evenly. You can color the white to any desired tint with
-finely powdered dry color or you may use color ground in oil, but if
-much of the latter is required, use one-third raw oil and two-thirds
-turpentine for thinning. When solid color is desired for wall stippling,
-use colors ground in oil and the finest bolted whiting, dry to make
-stout paste. Mix in this paste with one part oil and three parts
-turpentine and add one part japan. When the paint is applied in stout
-consistency, it may be stippled or combed and very pretty effects are
-obtained. Before applying the stipple to unpainted walls, two coats of
-pure lead in oil should be given.
-
-
- GOOD BRUSHES GET GOOD RESULTS
-
-Keep brushes out of water. When paint and varnish brushes are not in
-use, they should be suspended in raw linseed oil away from the bottom of
-the container by at least two inches and at least an inch above the
-bottom ferrule or strap. Water is not a paint solvent. When brushes are
-suspended in linseed oil, the oil will dissolve the pigment which, being
-heavier, will sink to the bottom of the container, in this way cleaning
-the brush.
-
-
- Quantity Needed.
-
-To ascertain the number of gallons of paint required for a building:—add
-the width of front and rear with the length of both sides, and multiply
-by the height. A gallon of paint, properly brushed out, will cover 350
-square feet, two coats. Do not flow the paint on, but thoroughly brush
-it on.
-
-By dividing the total feet of surface by 350, you will obtain the number
-of gallons necessary to paint the house, two coats. The above estimate,
-owing to the fact that surfaces vary in their natures, is based on a
-surface of good condition to receive the paint.
-
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- Front 25 feet
- Rear 25 feet
- Side 45 feet
- Side 45 feet
- ————
- 140 feet
- Multiply by average Height, 25 feet
- Divide by 350 3500 feet —10 gallons
-
-
- TO REMOVE RUST STAINS FROM CONCRETE OR STUCCO
-
-Rust stains can be removed from concrete or stucco work by scrubbing the
-spots with a solution of 1 part muriatic acid and 5 parts water. When
-using this, the hands should be well protected from the acid as it is
-very strong, and will cause severe burns. After scrubbing the concrete,
-the acid must be well rinsed off with clean water.
-
-
- ALUMINUM PAINT MAKES RADIATORS LESS EFFICIENT
-
-The aluminum or bronze paint generally applied to radiators greatly
-reduces their effectiveness and makes it necessary to have a larger
-surface for the same heating effect, according to experiments performed
-by Dr. W. W. Coblentz, of the Bureau of Standards. Dr. Coblentz finds
-that the heat radiated from an aluminum painted radiator surface is less
-than a third of that emitted by a radiator of the same size painted with
-a non-metallic paint, enameled, or simply allowed to rust.
-
-On the other hand, he finds that aluminum paint is a very effective
-means of reducing the amount of heat transmitted through a thin
-material. Applied to the under side of a tent or awning, it reduces by
-three-fourths the amount of heat from the sun which gets through the
-cloth, while if used on the cover of an automobile or ice wagon it cuts
-in half the heat let through and makes the temperature inside the
-vehicle more nearly that found in natural shade, thereby making it much
-more comfortable.
-
-
- PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVER
-
-Benzol and denatured alcohol, equal parts applied to a painted or
-varnished surface, will eat through to the bare wood in less than ten
-minutes’ time.
-
-
- HOW ENAMEL IS APPLIED TO METAL
-
-The basis of all enamels is an easily fusible, colorless glass, to which
-the desired color and opacity are imparted by mixtures of metallic
-oxides. The mass, after being fused together and cooled, is reduced to a
-fine powder, washed and applied to the surfaces to be covered. The whole
-is then exposed in a furnace till the enamel is melted when it adheres
-firmly to the metal.
-
-
- TO RETARD THE DRYING OF PLASTER OF PARIS FOR FIVE HOURS
-
-Plaster of Paris can be retarded by dissolving carpenter’s glue or
-common paste in the mixing water. To retard it so that it will not set
-within five hours will require about 2 per cent. of glue, the percentage
-being based on the weight of the plaster.
-
-
- CEMENT PANEL PAINT FOR BLACKBOARDS
-
-If you prefer to mix your own paint for cement panel blackboards, use
-drop black in turpentine, add an equal weight of finest powdered
-pumicestone mixed in turps and hard oak finish, and thin with enough
-varnish and turpentine to bind it hard.
-
-
- PAINTING STUCCO
-
-In painting stucco, the following instructions should be observed. After
-brushing thoroughly, prepare for the priming coat by mixing one part, by
-weight, of white lead, red lead, and boiled oil. White lead, stainers,
-driers, to the extent of one-fourteenth of the mixture, two parts boiled
-oil, and one part turpentine, form the basis for the second and third
-coatings. Additional coating should contain less turpentine in
-proportion to the oil.
-
-
- A REMEDY FOR LOW CEILINGS
-
-Rooms with low ceilings can be made to appear much higher by using a
-striped paper, preferably in a pale tint.
-
-
- TO REMOVE PAINT FROM GLASS
-
-Common washing soda dissolved in water; let it soak a while—if put on
-thick, say thirty minutes—then wash off. If it does not completely
-remove, give it another application.
-
-
- CLEANING PAINTED WALLS
-
-Dissolve two ounces of borax in two quarts of water. Add one teaspoonful
-of ammonia, put half this mixture into a pail of water. Use no soap.
-
-
- A GOOD WALLPAPER VARNISH
-
-Dissolve equal parts of borax and shellac in ten times their weight of
-alcohol; strain. Give two coats. For a very light-colored paper use
-sandarac instead of shellac. Paper treated with this lacquer can be
-washed with water, and even with soap, if necessary.
-
-
- LUMINOUS PAINT FORMULA
-
-Linseed Oil cold compressed and thickened by heat 3 oz., barium sulphate
-3 oz., prepared calcium carbonate 3 oz., white zinc sulphide 6 oz.,
-luminous calcium sulphide 18 oz. Mix well and grind in a paint mill,
-very fine.
-
-
- FIREPROOF PAINT
-
-Incorporate powdered asbestos into paint to be used on sheds, garages,
-etc.
-
-
- TO COLOR CONCRETE
-
-Cinnabar is mixed with cement to produce a bright red concrete and
-carmine to produce a violet red.
-
-
- GREASE SPOTS ON WALL PAPER
-
-Grease spots can be removed from wall paper by rubbing with camphorated
-chalk.
-
-
- FURNITURE POLISH
-
-Oil of cedarwood 3 ounces, turpentine 2 ounces, hydrochloric acid
-(commercial) 1¼ ounces, lubricating oil (light) 1½ ounces, gasoline 1½
-pint. Mix the turpentine, lubricating oil, and gasoline thoroughly and
-add oil of cedarwood, mixing thoroughly. Now add the hydrochloric acid,
-stirring briskly. Allow to set for three days, stirring occasionally
-until hydrochloric acid is thoroughly mixed. INFLAMMABLE, KEEP FROM FIRE
-OR OPEN FLAME. Can be colored if desired (any color) by adding a small
-amount of soluble color.
-
-
- FURNITURE AND AUTOMOBILE POLISH
-
- (One quart.)
-
-To ⅔ of paraffin oil add two tablespoonfuls of turpentine oil, one
-tablespoon of ammonia, one tablespoonful of alcohol. Add enough gasoline
-to make the quart. Keep away from open flame.
-
-
- WHITE SPOTS ON A SHELLAC SURFACE
-
-Restore the color of a shellac surface which has become white in spots
-by holding a hot iron over the spot.
-
-
- DUSTLESS CONCRETE FLOORS
-
-Paint concrete floors several coats with a mixture of boiled linseed oil
-mixed with gasoline, half and half.
-
-
- OLD WIDE SOFT FLOORING MADE TO APPEAR AS HARDWOOD
-
-When the cracks have been filled and floor has been stained the desired
-color grain half of each board differently. Thus the wide boards appear
-narrow by graining every other half. It resembles two kinds of wood
-dovetailed together.
-
-
- AUTOMOBILE POLISH
-
-This produces a fine luster that does not collect dust or show rain
-streaks. Although not a cheap polish, it is less costly than some now on
-the market. It consists of ½ gal. turpentine, ½ pt. paraffin oil, 2 oz.
-oil of citronella, and 1 oz. cedar oil. These are thoroughly mixed,
-applied with a soft cloth, and rubbed lightly and briskly until dry.
-
-
- LIME WHEN NOT IN USE IN WHITEWASH
-
-Lime will lose its value as a whitewash after long exposure to the air,
-but is ideal when used as fertilizer.
-
-
- TO FROST A PANE OF GLASS
-
-After the glass has been painted white, and still is wet, gently tap it
-all over with a soft cloth which has been wadded into a ball or puff.
-
-
- YELLOW PIANO KEYS
-
-To clean, a paste made from whiting and a solution of potash is laid on,
-and allowed to remain for twenty-four hours. The ivories will be
-restored very nearly, if not quite, to their original color without
-removing them from the keys.
-
-
- PAINTING ON GLASS
-
-Paints will adhere to glass better if colors are ground in oil. Thin
-with pale japan and turpentine.
-
-
- REMOVE INK STAINS FROM WOOD
-
-Prepare a mixture of 8 ounces of concentrated sulphuric acid and 1¾
-pints of water. Scour the stain thoroughly with water and sand and then
-pour some of the mixture upon it and rub until the stain disappears.
-
-
- TO CLEAN SMOKED OR BLACKENED WALLS AND CEILINGS
-
-Wash with a cloth wrung out of a strong solution of baking soda and
-water or use vinegar and water. If the stain is not all removed,
-dissolve gum shellac in alcohol to the consistency of milk or cream, and
-with it cover the sooty parts. Paint or whitewash over the shellac. The
-black will not show through.
-
-
- COMMON WHITEWASH
-
-Ordinary whitewash is made by slaking 10 lbs. of quicklime in 2 gals. of
-water. The lime is placed in a pail, the water added, and the bucket
-covered with a piece of old carpet, or an old bag, and allowed to stand
-for about an hour; the whitewash is then ready for application.
-
-
- WEATHERPROOF WHITEWASH
-
-For exterior use, a weatherproof limewash is made by slaking 1 bu. (62
-lbs.) of quicklime in 15 gal. of water. A solution consisting of 2 lbs.
-of ordinary salt and 1 lb. of zinc sulphate, dissolved in 2 gals. of
-boiling water, is prepared, and 2 gals. of skim milk is provided. The
-salt and zinc-sulphate solution is added to the lime and water, the skim
-milk being put in last.
-
-
- LINOLEUM CEMENT
-
-A mixture of glue, isinglass and dextrin, which dissolved in water and
-heated, is given an admixture of turpentine. The strips pasted down must
-be weighted with boards and brick on top until the adhesive agent has
-hardened.
-
-
- WEIGHT OF PAINT
-
-Good paint weighs 18 pounds and upwards to the gallon. Ordinary paint
-weighs 15–16 pounds.
-
-
-
-
- HINTS FOR PRESSMEN
-
-
- COVER WHITE
-
-When cover white is too short or stiff to be workable, add a small
-amount of mixing white.
-
-
- PROCESS COLOR PRINTING
-
-For the very best results in this fascinating art, print the lighter
-colors first, as follows: Yellow, red, blue and black unless otherwise
-instructed by the engraver.
-
-When dark colors are run first contrary to progressive proof, the full
-richness and detail are lost and hues altered. Light colors printed over
-the dark detail, modify and subdue the sharpness which is not always
-desirable.
-
-Use opaque yellow for the first color when printing on tinted stock;
-follow with transparent colors.
-
-
- GOLD SIZE FOR BRONZE POWDER
-
-All pigment that enters into the manufacture of gold size must be
-earthen. Yellow ocher is admirably adapted for this purpose, as in hue
-it ranges from a pale yellow to light brown. It is insoluble in oil and
-will not dull the luster of bronze powder or bleed through.
-
-Gold size for pale gold bronze should be pale yellow; for deep rich gold
-bronze use medium light orange brown size.
-
-Deep rich gold when applied over pale yellow size produces a medium gold
-cast.
-
-
- STREAKING AND SHADOWS
-
-Streaking or shadows which occur when running heavy solids, can oftimes
-be overcome on three roller platen presses by using a steel vibrator,
-also expansion trucks which trip third roller. If expansion trucks are
-not available use vibrator and remove third roller, as in most cases
-this roller is causing the trouble.
-
-
-Coach varnish adds lustre to printers’ ink.
-
-
- MOTTLING AND PICKING
-
-Mottling of printers’ ink is largely due to an over-abundance of
-reducer, which separates the pigment from the mordant. This difficulty
-is sometimes overcome by adding silicate of soda (water glass),
-magnesia, etc. These absorb some of the superfluous oil and force the
-pigment into a solid mass.
-
-Reducing to eliminate picking is the principal cause of mottle. Before
-mixing reducer with ink, add a little soft ink, such as halftone; if
-straight halftone picks, add 00 varnish.
-
-Inks are made for all purposes. Best results are obtained by using them
-without adulteration. Oftentimes a drop or two of linseed oil
-distributed on press will do the trick. If ink mottles from the start
-with no other inks at hand, use less ink and double roll.
-
-Picking and mottling on platen presses is more prevalent than on
-cylinders. The reasons are obvious. The cylinder requires less ink, has
-ample distribution and the printed sheet is peeled from the form.
-
-Every printing press has its capacity. You can not successfully print a
-solid oversize form just because it can be locked in a platen chase.
-Even with a good vibrator, this kind of form requires double or triple
-rolling. Taking into consideration the fact that friskets jerk printed
-sheet from the form, you need not look farther for the cause of picking.
-
-By cutting stock two or more up, and inking form the narrow way with
-enough of the sheet to be printed protruding for a good hand hold, you
-can peel it from the form. Do not allow friskets to touch the sheet.
-
-
- WASH FOR DIRTY TYPE OR CUTS
-
-Crude carbolic acid and turpentine, equal parts. Let stand over night.
-Rinse off with gasoline.
-
-Color Printing—Some very pretty effects are obtained by printing
-transparent yellow and crimson or scarlet over black. The black being so
-modified as to yield greenish hues under yellow and purple hues under
-red.
-
-
- GENERAL PURPOSE GLUE
-
- Always Ready for Use.
-
-Fill a quart glass jar with good broken glue; then fill up with acetic
-acid (which is vinegar in a strong form); set jar in hot water for a few
-hours to dissolve.
-
-
- PADDING GLUE (any color) FOR PRINTERS
-
- Requires no heating.
-
-In addition to the above formula purchase ten cents’ worth of analine
-(any color desired) from your druggist, dissolve this in two ounces of
-glycerine. Then stir all together. The glycerine keeps the glue flexible
-and prevents cracking. This formula, in print for the first time, means
-the saving of a great many dollars.
-
-
- MIXING GLASS
-
-Before mixing colors on glass, glue or lay a sheet of white paper to the
-back. Or paint it white.
-
-
- WHEN TO USE OPAQUE PROCESS INK
-
-When printing process colors on tinted stock, use an opaque yellow,
-follow with transparent colors.
-
-
- PROTECTIVE VARNISH FOR PRINTERS’ PLATES
-
-Printing plates, especially etchings which are chiefly composed of zinc,
-may be kept free from corrosion by dipping or painting with a liquid
-solution of gum arabic, which is soluble in water.
-
-
-
-
- MISCELLANEOUS
-
-
- BLACK AND WHITE AS COLORS
-
-Figuratively speaking black and white are colors but technically they
-are not. Pigments that are jet black and pure white either vegetable or
-mineral are unknown. It takes the addition of blue to alter the
-yellowish cast of white, and blue to deepen the brownish cast of any so
-called black pigment.
-
-
-White being a neutral color, will harmonize with most any color
-combination.
-
-
- NEUTRAL HUES AND TINTS
-
-Neutral hues are made by a 50–50 mixture of warm and cold colors. White
-added to neutral hues produce neutral tints.
-
-
-Whiting—Chalk pulverized and freed from impurities.
-
-
- VARNISH FOR THE BACK OF SILVERED MIRRORS
-
-Dammar gum, 20 parts; asphalt, 3 parts; gutta-percha, 5 parts; benzol,
-75 parts; mix and dissolve. To use this varnish, pour it over the
-silvered surface and move the plate back and forth until it is
-distributed evenly over the surface.
-
-
-Soft toned (flat finish) colors and tints are very desirable in the
-modern home. The flat or dull finish prevents the reflection of light,
-and makes a desirable back ground for pictures and draperies.
-
-
- COLOR IN SOAP BUBBLES
-
-The beautiful colors of an ordinary soap bubble are caused by light
-shining through the thin filament and being reflected from its inner
-surface.
-
-
- INVISIBLE WRITING INK
-
-Dissolve two teaspoonfuls of white sugar in half cup full of boiling
-water. Write in the ordinary manner. Holding to the fire will cause the
-saccharine to turn brown.
-
-
- INK FOR RUBBER STAMP PADS
-
-Dissolve ten cents’ worth of red analine (or any other color) in two
-ounces of glycerine and apply to stamp pad with stiff brush; smooth it
-on as evenly as possible.
-
-
- FRESHEN RUBBER STAMP PADS
-
-To freshen up old rubber stamp pads, scrape surface of pad with a dull
-knife or edge of stiff cardboard to remove dust. Then apply clear
-glycerine. Pad is now almost as good as new.
-
-
- BLACK TRACING PAPER
-
-Lamp black mixed with cold lard to the consistency of thick paste. Apply
-to thin paper with a piece of cloth. Then take a flannel cloth and rub
-until the color ceases to come off. If red is desired use Venetian red.
-For blue use Prussian blue, and for green use chrome green.
-
-
- COMMON BLACK WRITING INK
-
-One ounce extract of logwood; pour over it two quarts of boiling soft
-water. When dissolved add one drachm of yellow chromate of potassa. Put
-in clean bottles. This formula will cost about 15 cents.
-
-
- EVERLASTING BLACK WRITING INK
-
-Two gallons of rain water, ¼ pound gum arabic, ½ pound copperas, ¾ pound
-powdered nut-galls, ¼ pound of brown sugar. Bruise all and mix. This is
-valuable for copying deeds, etc., as it will last for hundreds of years.
-Shake the mixture occasionally for the first ten days, then it is ready
-for use.
-
-
- PAINTING WATER-COLORS ON PARCHMENT SHADES
-
-To prevent water-color paints and india inks from crawling on the greasy
-surface of parchment, rub gently with finely powdered pumice, using a
-soft cloth or cotton. Pulverized emery is equally efficient.
-
-
- TO COLOR FLOWERS
-
-One method of coloring flowers is to cut them with long stems and let
-them stand for awhile in water containing dye of the desired color.
-There are some species of dry, strawlike flowers, which are merely
-dipped in dye.
-
-
- TO TURN A HYDRANGEA BLUE
-
-It is claimed that putting a couple of lumps of alum at the roots of the
-hydrangea will cause it to turn blue.
-
-
- DRAWING PAPER MADE TRANSPARENT
-
-To render ordinary drawing paper transparent for tracing purposes,
-sponge paper with a solution of 2 parts absolute alcohol to 1 of castor
-oil.
-
-The alcohol soon evaporates and tracing paper is ready for use. Drawing
-or tracing may be made with india ink or lead pencil.
-
-Restore paper to its original state by immersing in absolute alcohol.
-
-
- DRIER FOR PAINTS ON PARCHMENT LAMP SHADES
-
-Japan drier is used almost exclusively as a paint medium for coloring
-parchment lamp shades. Pale Japan is almost colorless and will not alter
-hues.
-
-
- TO CLEAN SOILED PHOTOGRAPHS
-
-Lightly sponge with cotton dipped in alcohol.
-
-
- TO OXIDIZE COPPER AND BRASS
-
-A solution for oxidizing copper or brass is composed of 2 ounces of
-nitrate of iron and 2 ounces of hyposulphite of soda to 1 pint of water.
-Immerse the article until the desired shade is acquired: then wash, dry
-and brush.
-
-
- GREASE AND PAINT REMOVER
-
-Oil of turpentine, fluid oz. 5; water of ammonia, fluid oz. 4; wood
-alcohol, fluid oz. 5; ether drops 25, acetic acid, fluid dr. 4; water,
-fluid oz. 5. Apply a little to stained parts with a brush, rubbing
-briskly for a moment or two. Rinse out with clear water.
-
-
- TO REMOVE OIL STAINS FROM LEATHER
-
-Dab the spot carefully with spirits of sal ammoniac, and after allowing
-it to act for awhile, wash with clean water. This treatment may have to
-be repeated a few times, taking care, however, not to injure the color
-of the leather.
-
-
- BLEACHING TALLOW
-
-Dissolve alum, five pounds, in water, ten gallons, by boiling; and when
-it is all dissolved, add tallow, twenty pounds. Continue the boiling for
-one hour, constantly stirring and skimming. When sufficiently cool to
-allow it, strain through thick muslin; then set aside to harden. When
-taken from the water, lay it by for a short time to drip.
-
-
- WHEN LEATHER BECOMES STICKY
-
-Either sponge the leather thoroughly with a mild suds of borax soap, and
-when perfectly dry, apply thin coat of white shellac, or else clean the
-leather with some solvent such as gasoline.
-
-
- COMMON BLUE WRITING INK
-
-Sulphate of indigo and soft water. Color to suit.
-
-
- WATER PROOFING PAPER
-
-Dissolve 2 parts of borax and 2 parts of shellac in 2 parts of water,
-and strain through a fine cloth. With a brush or sponge apply this to
-the surface of the paper, and when it is dry, polish it to a high gloss
-with a soft brush.
-
-
- TO MAKE ORNAMENTAL GRASSES GLISTEN
-
-Make a brine by boiling one quart of common salt in 1½ quarts of water
-for fifteen minutes. Tie bunches of ornamental grasses together and pour
-the solution over them while it is hot. Place in a dark room or cellar,
-where it will not be disturbed and allow the grasses to stand for 24
-hours, then lift them out and hang them up to dry. In a few hours they
-will be white and glistening.
-
-
- INDELIBLE MARKING INK
-
-100 grains nitrate of silver, 1 ounce distilled water, 2 drachms gum
-arabic, 1 scruple of indigo. Thoroughly mix.
-
-
- EYE STRAIN
-
-Eye strain can be eliminated while printing yellow forms under
-artificial light by using blue eye glasses. This causes the yellow to
-appear green.
-
-
- MARBLIZING
-
-Marbling Show Cards, Backgrounds For Photo Engravers, Lampshades, Box
-Tops, Paper, Etc.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Halftone illustrates three different cards marbled and cut to form a
-diamond shape. Process is fully described in the following pages.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-
- FRENCH OCHRE
-
-16 parts deep chrome yellow, 4 parts medium purple and 4 parts bright
-red.

-
- MARBLIZING
-
-Marbling Show Cards, Backgrounds For Photo Engravers, Lampshades, Box
-Tops Paper, Etc.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- Figure 1.
-]
-
-Very little practice is required in this most fascinating art.
-
-1. Thin any oil paint or printer’s ink to the consistency of water with
-turpentine, gasoline or kerosene, any number of colors. Mix each
-separately.
-
-2. Fill a pan, wash basin, or bath tub two-thirds full with water. Size
-of vessel to be determined by size of card to be marbled.
-
-3. A teaspoonful or more of each color which will readily float on the
-water is the next step. (See Fig. 1.) A little black used along with
-certain colors produce very satisfactory results.
-
-4. With your hand or paddle agitate the mixture of water and color and
-before the turbulent waves subside, immerse card face down (See Fig. 2)
-being careful to wet entire surface.
-
-To avoid air pockets (wide open colorless spaces) bend card or paper
-slightly as shown in figure 2. Mottled marble effects are obtained when
-waves are nearly settled or quite still.
-
-[Illustration:
-
- Figure 2.
-]
-
-The coloring adheres to the sheet instantly and it is needless to hold
-it under water. Colors will run if used in excessive quantity or failure
-to thin enough. If air pockets form, wait until thoroughly dry before
-redipping in solution.
-
-White oil paint or printer’s ink may be mixed with colors to form tints
-before same is thinned. More thinning of colors also make lighter
-shades.
-
-Over painting on these backgrounds should be executed with color ground
-in Japan to better adhere to the slightly greasy surface.
-
-Show card writers may obtain rather unique effects with the following:
-
-On a blank card paint or draw all or part of the lettering and border
-with show card writer’s white which is soluble in water.
-
-When thoroughly dry dip into marbling solution as has been previously
-described, when dry, place in running water until all show card writer’s
-white is washed free. A clean soft brush will help loosen it.
-
-The marbling colors should be a trifle darker with less agitation. The
-darker background will help show to better advantage the pure white
-border and lettering.
-
-White material is best for marbling. White, a neutral color will not
-alter the various colors and tints applied in this process. However,
-colored board may be used to good advantage for certain purposes.
-
-
- DRAWINGS RESEMBLE PRINTING
-
-To Make Drawings Resemble Printing—Black and White or a Variety of
-Colors
-
-[Illustration]
-
-First—Make light pencil sketch of subject on any good paper or cardboard
-such as is used when water-colors are employed. Outline all high lights
-and other portions which are to remain white.
-
-Second—With brush or pen fill in all high lights and other portions
-which are to remain white with show card writer’s white, which is
-soluble in water, and let dry.
-
-Third—Partly fill any shallow tray or dish with (water proof) ink, black
-or colored, if desired. Now dip drawing and let dry.
-
-Fourth—When black or colored water proof inks are thoroughly dry place
-into running water until the white is washed free from drawing, exposing
-the clean surface of material. Place between blotters which have been
-weighted and let dry.
-
-With this process your drawings can show no brush marks. The solids will
-remain smooth and dense as though printed. If plates for printing
-purposes are to be made from drawings, you will obtain splendid clean
-cut results by using this dipping process.
-
-Show card writer’s white and (water proof) black or colors may be
-obtained at any art shop.
-
-[Illustration]
-
-
- SPATTER
-
-[Illustration]
-
-Most everyone is familiar with spatter work. Shading and background
-effects for drawings, show cards, art candles, etc., may be treated with
-spatter in one or more colors.
-
-Color in the form of fine dots is thrown upon the unprotected portions
-of material by rubbing the inked bristles of a brush on a sieve or with
-a knife blade.
-
-Necessary materials: India or common writing ink, a tooth brush, pocket
-knife, rubber cement, cardboard and some thin transparent tracing paper.
-The latest and most effective method is to spatter through a sieve, with
-a round medium stiff brush as shown in the accompanying illustration.
-
-With point of knife cut out letters which are traced from painted show
-card and paste with rubber cement, or weight with small objects to
-prevent color from running under the edges, directly on the face of each
-corresponding letter and apply spatter. Remove these masks when the work
-has dried.
-
-High lights may be added to spatter drawings with touches of Chinese or
-show card writers white with a pencil brush.
-
-Gold ink spatter shows well on dark materials; white is effective on
-black material. Pleasing backgrounds are produced by thinly covering
-material with rice, flax seed, leaves, sawdust, etc. Apply spatter and
-let thoroughly dry before disturbing to prevent smearing.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
