This paint can be'applied with a brush in the same way as ordinary paint, and one of its properties is, that it will dry in the course of an hour or longer as required. IVc mention this to show that its use would be a great advantage to the trade, especially in cases where despatch is absolutely necessary, and where ordinary paint would not dry in the time required. It is equally applicable to inside as to outside work. As it dries with a hard, glossy, enamel-liko surface, nothing can be better for the interior walls of houses, offices, &c., for it will wash like a piece of china. For exterior purposes, it will render porous tiles, felt, bricks, stone, &c., thoroughly waterproof, and at the same time vastly improve their appearance. In many districts of England, particularly near the sea-coast, the fronts and gable ends of many houses are covered with slates to keep them dry and prevent damp arising from the force and fury of storms. It strikes us that if, instead of slates or cement, which cause expense, they were thickly coated with this enamel paint, these fronts and gable ends would bo greatly improved in appearance, while at the same time the resistance to damp would bo more effective. Wo need not, however, specify in detail the purposes for which this, paint can bo used, but merely say that where it is necessary to waterproof any building this cab readily be applied. One coat is generally enough, but when the work is required to be thoroughly done, two or three coats must be put on. We have seen some specimens of this paint upon ordinary pieces of iron, and the tests applied to its surface—more than sufficient to destroy ordinary paints —have had no effect upon it. — Builder’s Weekly Reporter.
