FOE USING
Hall's Sanitary
Washable Distemper.
To Mix for use, add ab nto e pist of water to 5 lbs, of Distemper and stir to the consistency of a good thick cream. (These quantities are only approximate and judgment must be exercised in the mixing.) If the Distemper has become stiff, hot water should be used, as it mixes more readily.
Whiting or Lime should be washed of the walls or ceiling before applying the Distemper. Wall papers may be painted without removing them, if the pattern is not (oo prominent and If the
per contains no gold, but un-ra's will probably he required.
When walls are very porons or repairet, causing too much or unequal suction, we recommend a coal of size before using the Distemper. This prevents suction, and the Distemper, when dry, is more washable than it otherwise wou'd be. For very damp walls give a Gest coat of "SISCO" Damp He-ister, also apply this to all damp patches and to place where the lime or salt is working through the plater.
White Distemper No. 6 is made for eilings and le not quite so washable as the other wolours. When necessary to lighten any of the shade, Creun, (No. 17) should be used for mixing instead of white, Dry colours must not be used for altering the shades, as they take away the binding properties of the Distemper and do not mix evenly.
All sides marked by the side of the nambers in Color Book and on the show-carda, many be used for new plastered wall. Any other shader should not be used on cup plastor.
The Distemper should not be mixed too thinly, one at is usually sufficient even on now work, and will give a result equal to two coats of oil paint.
Three weeks after applention, but not before, the Paint can be washed. This operation should
be done with a sponge waited with tepid water and pass d gently over the wall.
