Synopsis
Excerpt from Hints on Painting Structural Steel and Notes on Prominent Paint Materials: A Handbook for Paint-Users
Bout thirty years ago practice in the making of Linseed Oil, Varnishes, Japans, and Colors first brought the writer into daily contact with questions te gardin g the manipulation of paint, its properties, and the results of the various operations to which it was sub jected. Painters, engineers, architects, builders, con structors, etc have since been continuously asking questions whose answers involved thought and experi ment. At one time paintmaking was an art, then it became a trick. Now it is a science. This little handbook is writ ten by a paintmaker, and is the direct result of study recently given to the manufacture and properties of structural steel and the use of paint in its preservation. It is published in the hope that some Of the mysteries heretofore associated with the paint may be cleared up.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational guide to protective coatings for steelwork from the late 19th Century. The author brings together their years of experience and observations to explore the key theories and ingredients involved in creating effective, durable, and beautiful paint and varnish coatings. The author grounded their work in an innovative hypothesis that suggested that the solid, or pigment, and liquid, or binder, in a paint share equal importance in the performance of that paint. A departure from the common belief of the time, this hypothesis positioned the authorās book as a great leap forward in the understanding and efficacy of metal coatings.
