To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Second Coat. — Let nail-holes, cracks, etc., be filled with putty ; for colored painting, red-lead putty is the best. The paint should be mixed to the thickness of thin cream, and laid on evenly^ but not in too great quantities. In nice work, after this coat has thoroughly dried, it should be rubbed do^vn with pumice-stone or fine sand-paper. The third coat is to be laid on as was the second. Three coats, at least, are required for good painting. Four or five will be still better. Paint mixed w...ith boiled oil usually has a glossy appear- ance. If it is desired to increase this, small portions of varnish are added. This is usually confined to outside work. In cities the glossy surface of paint, is dis-esteemed for inside work ; and instead, a flatted white is laid on. This is produced by mixing the lead for the last coat with tur- pentine instead of oil, by which a dull white is made. Flatted coloi's are not susceptible of being cleaned by wash- ing more that once or tmce, whereas common paint will endure washing, if carefully performed, for years.
