To the above add two galls. of the incorporated oil, and 2 galls. of
the linseed oil to thin it for use, and it will not exceed two cents
and a quarter. The lime-water, whiting, road-dirt, and blue-black,
must be first mixed together, then add the ground lead, first
blending it with 2-1/2 galls. of the prepared fish oil; after
which, thin the whole with 2 galls. of linseed oil and 2 galls.
of incorporated oil, and it will be fit for use. For garden doors,
and other work liable to be in constant use, a little spirits of
turpentine may be added to the paint whilst laying on, which will
have the desired effect.
