TO MIX DRY LAMP BLACK.

First cut it up in benzine or turpentine to a thick paste, stir well and add linseed oil; if the black is to be used as an oil paint, a little at first, stir well and you may add more. In this way you will have no trouble in mixing it with other paint, if you do it when the paint is rather stiff.
