A Really Washable Water Paint,

Many Water-Paints are called washable-few will stand water-and-scrub-brush-test. Distempers and ordinary water paints absorb water and to stand real washing a surface must be quite non-absorbent.

MATROIL is non-absorbent and therefore really washable, because it is an oil-bound paint. It contains oil yet you thin it with water and, besides making it really washable, the oil gives MATROIL great durability.
