From our experience we know that the Hat creates the greatest difficulty for most men. There are so many variations in the shape of the Hat, the type of features and the colour of the complexion to be dealt with, that most men are appreciative of a little expert guidance in the difficult matter of selection.
We are thoroughly equipped with comprehensive stocks.

MAKES WALLS
WASHABLE
REALLY
Many water paints are called washable"-few will stand the water-and-scrub-brush test. They absorb water and to stand real washing a surface must be quite non-absorbent: Matroil is non-absorbent and therefore really washable - because it contains OIL.. Yet you thin it with water. Besides making it really washable the oil gives Matroil great durability: Do not confuse or compare Matroil with distemper. simply because it gives a flat finish. It is quite different..
It is a japan-bound paste-easily mixed for use with cold water, and very economical in use.
Directly it is dry, a second coat can be applied and goes on easily without "working up" the first coat. Two coats Cover solid.
The Matroil finish is smooth and dead flat, and if desired. (for dadoes, etc.) can be varnished over with excellent effect.
Walls painted with Matroil become non-abs therefore really washable.
