Matroil

Berger Product

MAKES WALLS REALLY WASHABLE

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, Matrol is non-absorbent-and therefore really washable - Besides because it contains OIL. Yet you thin it with water. 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-absorbent and therefore really washable.
