TO MAKE WAX FINISH FOR FLOORS.
Take 2 ounces pearlash and 2 pounds white wax. Slice the wax thin, and boil it with the pearlash in 2 quarts of water; stir until the wax is melted and unites with the water.
Put on the finish with a brush, and polish with cloth or plush.
This finish will be good only for light service.
