TO SIZE MUSLIN FOR LETTERING.
Use a thin size of white glue in water, or a thin starch paste. For a sign to stand weather, dissolve white wax in turpentine by heat. Melt the wax in a kettle, then take it outside and by degrees add sufficient spirits of turpentine and make a thin size.
One ounce of wax to the quart of turps is about right. Put it on warm with a brush.
