TOALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I p I Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. DQDGEyof the city of Syracuse, iuthe county of Onondaga, and State of New York, haveinvented a new and improved Article of Point and I do'hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact'description-thereof, ivhichwill enable those skilled in" the art to make and us'e the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying specimens of ingredi,ents, and ofjthe componnded'article. v

' The nature of in'y'inventionconsists in providing a neiv and improved vehicle for metallic or earth paints, .whereby a superior attic 1c Ofpaint'is obtained, with an important saving in the cost for the same. I

1 My improved paint-compound is composed of the followin'g ingredientsand relative proportions, namely:

.1. Raw linseed oil/five gallons. I I I I I I e 2. Melted rosin, fifteen gallons.

3. Spermaceti, one pound.

.4 Rubber, dissolved in oil, two ounces..

5. :Litharge, or other drier, three pounds.

6. Sugar of lead, two ounces.-

v 7. Gum-cops], one pound. 1

8. Turpentine,- tivo gallons 7 a To'compound these ingredients, Iheat myoil to boiling, and have the rosin thoroughly melted. I then dissolvethe spermaceti'in-aportion of the oil, also the .sfi-gerofleadandgum-copal, each separately. I' then pour the balance of the oil into my mixing-tub, adding the sperma'ceti, sugar of lead, copal, and rubber; and then add, while the mixture is, being 'slowly stirred, the rosint and the castiie soap having been previously dissolved'in the turpentine, they are then added also. Ai'ter the drier has been added, the mixture is stirred or beaten thoroughly, while yet. hot, so'that the mass shall have a.- uniform or homogeneous character, and the process is completed. v t V I A liquid compound is thus obtained for miningw'ith all kinds of miueral -paints,'or earths, &c which,- having a considerable body in itself, largely economizes, intlie use of the minerals. This-paint spreads evenly and freely, and gives a fine,.'glossy finish, and is well spoken of by quite a large number of artisans who have been supplied with the paint. I I I v I Thepaint may be thinned with naphtha, turpentine, or oil, the same as with common paint, and is designed to be used for all purposes where the common me'tallioor earth paints are employed, and like-them may also be of any color. I I I p I do' not wishto confine myself to-these enact relative proportions, as 'the-qnantitiesm'ay be varied; but the above quantities give substantially the proper proportions of the ingredients. I

' Having thus described my invention, what I claim as'new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

- The improvedfp'aint, preparedor compounded substantially as herein specified'and' for the purpose set'forth.
