THE DRYING OILS. Since these oils are largely used in the manufacture of paint for iron work it is important to learn whether or not they are capable of dissolving iron to any appreciable extent. If they are, the coats of paint are liable to become saturated solutions of iron or of iron compounds, and, on exposure to moist air, will absorb water and oxygen with the formation of rust. Owing to the great increase in volume which this change brings about (see p. 158), the paint film may suffer par...tial disintegra- tion.
