Reductions and Application. Formulas No. 1 to No. 37 were all ground in pure refined linseed oil. They were made in the form of semi-paste and then thinned down with sufficient refined linseed oil so that each would have a relative viscosity. To each formula was then added a sufficient amount of pure lead and manganese linoleate drier to give proper drying qualities. On thinning for the priming coat, one pint of turpentine was added to each gallon of paint. For the second coat, one-half pint turpentine and one-half pint refined linseed oil were added to each gallon. For the third coat work, reduction was made with one pint of refined linseed oil.
In the case of formulas 31 to 37, reductions were the same, except that a series of specially prepared wood turpentines were used in place of the pure gum spirits used in formulas 1 to 31.
Formulas 38 to 41, as will be shown, were ground in equal parts of the oils tested. These formulas, however, were all thinned for application with pure gum spirits of turpentine, and the respective vehicle in which they were ground.
No inspection of the Tennessee Test Fence has yet been made. The formulas tested are as follows:
FORMULAS FOR SOUTHERN TEST FENCE
Vehicle: Bleached Linseed Oil with Lead and Manganese Linoleate Drier.
| For- mula No. | ||
| 1 | [27]Corroded white lead | 100% |
| 2 | [27]Sublimed white lead | 100% |
| 3 | Zinc oxide XX | 100% |
| 4 | Zinc lead white | 100% |
| 5 | Leaded zinc 65%, corroded white lead | 35% |
| 6 | [27]Corroded white lead | 100% |
| 7 | [27]Corroded white lead | 100% |
[27] Corroded White Lead is the Basic Carbonate of Lead. Sublimed White Lead is the Basic Sulphate of Lead.
