 DIRECTIONS 
 
 FOR STAMPING WITH 
 
 Perforated Parchment Patterns. 
 
 DRY STAMPING- is done by placing the Pattern (rough side up) 
 upon the material to be stamped, putting weights of some kind upon the 
 corners sufficiently heavy to keep the pattern from moving. Take a 
 little of the powder from the hox and put it upon the bottom of a plate or 
 .saucer and rub the Distributing Pad in it, then rub the pad with the powder 
 upon it over the perforations till the pattern is clearly defined upon the 
 material, this can be ascertained by raising one corner of the pattern. The 
 Pattern can now be removed and the stamping fixed witli a hot sad Iron, 
 keeping a piece of paper between the iron and the material. Do not move 
 the iron about but hold it a moment in one place and then change positions. 
 This melts the gum in the powder and .sets the color. If the heat changes 
 the color of the material, iron it all over. Stamping is done better in a cool, 
 dry day, and the powder should be kept in a dry cool place. 
 
 The above is the best way to do stamping on light colored materials 
 but for dark material where the blue pow<U'r would not .show plainly, 
 MOIST STAMPING is the best, as light colored powders do not 
 work well. In Moist Stamping paint is used — zinc white mixed with 
 boiled oil and some drying is very good mixed to the consistency of cream 
 and put on with a brush which has a square end, or it may be rubbed on 
 with the back of a dinner knife being careful not to injure the pattern. The 
 paint must not be allowed to dry on the pattern but both sides must be 
 immediately cleaned off with spirits turpentine or benzine, and an old cloth. 
 Persons doing only a little stamping can procure a Bmall tube of the zinc 
 white and some boiled oil and drying .and mix the paint themselves, but if 
 they are dealers and doing considerable stamping they should have a painter 
 mix a considerable amount for them, which if kept covered, will remain 
 good for a long time. The brush should be either kept in water all the time 
 or should be washed out every time it is used.
