Extract from papers read by Mr Henry A. Gardner, Assistant Director of the Institute of Industrial Research, at Washington, before the American Institute of Architects:— SIGNS OF PAINT FAILURE. '' Chalking "or " flouring'' is used to describe the condition of paint surface which has deteriorated within the paint film. "Cheeking" means the formation of minute fissures which allow water to penetrate. Cracking, scaling, peeling and blistering are other signs of failure. These are all due to improperly-made paints or improper application. CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD PAINT Good paints should have good hiding power, adhesiveness, freedom from internal strains, permanency of colour, relatively high irnperviousness to moisture, sufficient elasticity to prevent scaling or cracking when subjected to expansion or contraction, and freedom irom the chemical action which results in deep checking or excessive chalking. No single pigment in linseed oil has all these qualities. Various pigments mixed in proper proportion will correct each other's faults and produce a durable paint coating of maximum efficiency and economy.
