It will be seen that the bright green paint costs but about 7 cts.
per lb., ready to lay on; and the inventor challenges any colour-man
or painter to produce a green equal to it for five times the price.
After painting, the colour left in the pot may be covered with water
to prevent it from sinking, and the brushes, as usual, should be
cleaned with the painting-knife, and kept under water. A brighter
green may be formed by omitting the blue-black. A lighter green may
be had by the addition of 10 lbs. of ground white lead. Observe that
the wet blue must be ground with the incorporated oil, preparatory
to its being mixed with the mass.
