TALKS ABOUT PAINT
THE PAINTER’S TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS
Or. Morsman talks aljcu. Paint
Troubles and tells how to
mend them
Why is it that, paint sometimes goe
wrong. This happens occasionally
and it it is a niioxd paint the proper
ty owner thinks lie lias a grievance
against tiie paint maker who often js
oblidged to make good ills guarantee
by furnishing more paint to repaint
with, lie does tills not because lie
thinks his paint was at fault, hut Id’
cause lie cannot satisfy his custom
er in any other way. and ninety-nine
out of a hundred men will agree with
tiie property owner and believe the
paint at fault They will be inistuk
t’n in ninety-nine eases out of a hun
dred
The paint that will not go wrong
under certain conditions Is not good
paint, and the fact that a paint goes
wrong under these conditions proves
its good until tty.
What are the most common paint
troubles. They are blistering, peel
ing chalking ami cracking.
\ paint that, will not blister is bad
paint, very laid. So bad that it is ut
terly worthelss as a protection
against weather.
A paint that will not peel' is not
good paint. Not good enough to pay
tor the labor of putting it on.
Chalking and cracking are not the
fault of the material hut of the man
who mixed them t nienn recent
chalking. All old Jobs will ’chalk’
*nd it doesn't make any difference
how good the materials were, or how
much skill was used.
1 am not trying to "save ihe bacon’
(or any tulxed paint man, if lie is fool
mh enough to guarantee his product
"hi n he knows, or ought to know,
■.hat there failure h happen with the
Post of paint, he must 'lake his tned
t ln
My statements are somewhat start.,
4u;. m the ninety and nine men but
v Vj !'.■■■ expert. These ninety and
mile men will have to lie "shown'
Slut’ 1 cxneet to prove lily position.
I.' ' us go back to my article on
i'ns' 'i| oil. Remember that I said
f!te nil is the paint, i demonstrated
that statement. I showed you how
lie Pint of oil was formed and how
t’ iM'r.l'il the particles of pigment
*>j its m'sties. ! told you that the
cd film was water tight, ga.s tight.
Chat, it entered into nil the interstic
es of th" wood and hardened there,
that, tt spread out over the surface
*nd formed an impervious
coating, water proof and gas proof.
There is nothing so convincing as ex
periment. Try this one. Take a dry
soft, pine hoard, mark a spot on i*
ns big as a dollar, drop water on that
■spot drop by drop, until it will no*
ucutk up any more. Now paint tin*
surface and dry in a cool place j»ut
•ire a second <‘oat of paint after the
drsc t» dry. Place this board in tlm
sun or near the stove and in a P’w
day* no argument will be necessary
ho there will be a blister on the
painted surface just over the dollar
■six it
What is the theory. The spot was
w.et. We j»ut over it the water tight
4iid gas tight film and heated i>
The heat made steam of the water.
Steam requires more space than wa
ter, and to get it, it pushed the film
which it couldn't penetrate, off the
hoard. Perhaps it stretched the film
until it broke and the steam escaped.
Perhaps the steam condensed again
Uito water and soaked back into the
the wood. If the steam could have
penetrated the film, there would have
$ 'fXr* - •
ijeen no blister. Which kind of paint
do we want, the-kind that water can
penetrate or the kind that water can
not penetrate. Which is the quality
standard. Isn't the blister the evid
ence of worth, the evidence that the
oil is In the paint.
Every blister is caused by some.
I thing in the wood that expands and
lifts the oil film off. It may he wit
ter, it may he pitch or sap but it is
always in tlie wood and the paint that
blisters is the one that Is thick in lin
seed oil, (lie one thilt is protective to
(tie wood.
it is sometimes hard to account
for tlie location of blister. Wo can ,
not see the moisture but it Is there.
Perhaps a tree shades a few spots
so they do not dry, after it rain, as
the rest of the surface does. Or a
soft spot in tlie lumber retains the
moisture longer.
There is no need to look in the*
paint pot for the ratine of blistering.'
Il is not there.
Nor need we look in the paint for .
the cause of pooling. Tho cattHOS <
are much tho same as for blistering 1
Something in the wood lifts 01 pushes
the film front the surface. The peel
ing proves that the film is good. ;
We can not peel anything that is not
film like. The hard husk or film
must be strong enough <o bold togeth
t
or or it will not peel, it will break
and crumble. So hero again we have
convincing evidence that tin* paint
is good.
The cause is usually moisture cov
ering considerable surface, hut i(
may be a pitchy place where the
pores of the wood are filled with ji
so the nil can not penetrate. Such
places must be well coated
with shellac
Then-'is a tendency to begin work
too quickly after a shower or heavy
rain and a spot that is shaded will
not dry as quick as the rest of the
surface that is exposed to the sun.
Ofeourse what I have said applies
to new wood. If die priming coat
goes on right there will lie little
trouble about subsequent coats. There
fore watch the priming coat.
The lumber we use now is respons
ilile for much trouble with paint.
White pine and poplar are soft and
porous and the oil takes firm bold;
tint the days of white pine and poplar
are nearly numbered. Tiny are ex
pensive and we must use Washing
ton fir, southern pine, spruce, or
cypress \ 11 these are hard nuts for
the painter to crack. They are full
of troubles-nnd rosin, and linseed oil
and rosin are not friends. They
will not unite except when boiled to
gether. Hut turpentine and rosin ate
"kith and kin.' They have the same
parentage. Therefore the printing
eont for rosin and pitch soaked lum- j
ber must contain an excess ot tur
pentine. Our best efforts will fall
sometimes for th»> sun draws this
resinous pitch to the surface and the
Paint lias to conic too. Any paint
that isn't as full of holes as a porous
, I
plaster will have to yield.
When paint peels over old work 1
it is the old work that Is at fault. I
If it Isn't fast and solid it will loos
en and give way when the new coat j
contracts and expands, its it must
before it hardens entirely.
Scrape it off or burn it off. Leave
nothing that can he detached.
1 have already explained why paint
"chalks.’ Do not be niggardly with
linseed oil in putting on the last ^
! coats.
There are two causes for cracking I
or as it is usually called "checking.’I
One is too much zinc. 1 do not think \
much of zinc for outside work, it J
covers more surface than lead, pound
per pound and for that reason mixed
paint men use it, and make it a talk
ing point as being better than lead.
I got my training years ago before
painters dared to use zinc for outside!
paint, and perhaps 1 am predjudiced,
but I believe it is not better than
lead nor as good as load.
Bui it is only an excess of zinc
that causes the trouble and the mix
ed paint, men are careful. Mixed
paint rarely checks.
The other cause for cheeking is too
much pigment in proportion io the
oil The painter tries to do with one
coat what what he ought to do with
two. Don’t forget Hint, the oil is the
paint. It is the oil film that pro
tects tiie wood. Pigment enough to
cover is all that Is required. An ex
cess is no advantage whatever.
I wonder if I hae made these things
plain to the ninety and nine.
if paint blisters or peels it. is good
Paint. If it chalks or checks it is the
fault of the man who mixed It.

Stomach Troubles
Cured by Vinol
HERE IS PROOF
“ I suffered so long from stomach
trouble and indigestion, that I lost
flesh rapidly — VINOL cured me
after everything else had failed. It
strengthened my digestive organs—
gave me a hearty appetite, and I
can eat anything without the slight
est distress. I do not believe any
thing equals VINOL for stomach
trouble and indigestion.”
W. K. W aterhouse,
Portland, Me.
Mr. Thos. G .Wallace, of 1 >etroit,
Mich., writes, “I suffered for years
from a chronic stomach trouble.
VINOL entirely cured me after
everything el>e had failed.”
It is the curative medicinal ele
ments of the cod's liver, combined
with the strengthening properties
of tonic iron contained in VINOL,
which makes it so successful in re
storing perfect digestion, and at
the same time building up the weak
ened run-down system.
Try’a bottle of VINOL with the
understanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.
