Lamp Black Estimating the Quantity of Paint Needed To find the number of square feet to be painted, measure (in feet) the total distance around the house and multiply by the height of the corner boards. This will give you the number of square feet in the body. Do not take off anything for doors or windows for this will generally be offset by the edges of the weather- boarding and by doors and window frames. To find the area of the gables multiply the width of the base in feet by one-half of the height. Be sure to allow for the eaves, cornices, etc., and for porch floors, steps, and ceilings. The same general rule will apply to interior surfaces. On a fair, old surface a gal- lon of lead paint will spread over approximately 600 square feet, one coat. This will give you a basis upon which to do your estimating. To find the number of gallons of paint re- quired, divide the total number of square feet to be painted by 550, 600 or 650, according to the condition of the surface. The result will give you the number of gallons of paint you should need for one coat. If the wood is porous it will require more paint than if it is hard and smooth. A gallon of paint will cover more sur- face on smooth wood than on rough wood, brick or concrete. A great deal depends upon how much you brush out the paint. Refer to the paint formulae shown on pages 7-10 of this chart for the type of work you are painting, to find out how much Eagle White Lead, lin- seed oil, drier or turpentine you will need to produce the neces- sary quantity of paint. [ 2 ] Preparing the Surface A Dry Surface Necessary Any surface to be painted should be thoroughly dry. If it is wet when painted the moisture in the lumber will be drawn out by the sun and cause the paint to blister. If there is dew or frost on the surface it will spoil the job. Green, unseasoned lumber con- tains moisture and will cause paint to blister. Remove Loose Cracked Paint On a repaint job all the loose paint should be removed. This is commonly done by going over the surface with a broad scraping knife and then sand- papering down the rough edges. Be sure to get off all the paint which is not firmly ad- hered to the surface and sand- paper any rough spots. Dust and dirt, if not removed, will mix with the paint and dis- color it, therefore, go over the entire surface with a painter’s duster brush, being especially careful of the tops of the win- dow and door frames. Grease, wax or oil spots should be re- moved; paint will not adhere to such places. When old paint has cracked and scaled generally over the surface, you may safelyexpect it to continue to come off, regard- less of what paint you put on top of it. If this is the case, all the paint should be burned or scraped off down to the bare wood so that the new paint can anchor itself in the pores of the wood. All paint wears out sometime. It may wear off or chalk gradually, leaving the [ 3 ] surface in perfect condition for repainting. If the paint is hard and brittle, it will crack and scale off, necessitating ad- ditional expense for burning and scraping. Pure Eagle White Lead in Oil instead of cracking and scaling, will leave a perfect surface for repaint- ing. This is one of the many reasons why it is best to apply Eagle Pure White Lead over surfaces which have been thor- oughly cleaned. Porous Spots Where old paint is badly worn there will probably be found some porous spots that will absorb oil freely. You will have no trouble in recognizing these spots by their dead flat appearance when the first coat of paint is dry. Give them an extra coat of oil or another coat of paint a day or two be- fore you apply the second coat to seal up the pores. Sappy Spots Any sappy streaks or knots should be coated with orange shellac to prevent the sap com- ing through the paint. This should be done before the first coat is applied. Knots and sap streaks in hard pine which are excessively loaded with pitch ought to be burned over with a gasoline blow torch to draw out some of the pitch before shellacking. Eagle White Lead in Oil is ideal for Tiffany , mot- tling , stippling and other glaze finishes in vogue. For the best results in this work it is essential that white lead be used for priming and stippled ground coats. [ 4 ] Tinting Eagle White Lead One of the many advantages of Eagle White Lead is that it may be tinted any color. No need to accept some standard tint or shade used by others. Use high grade colors ground in oil for tinting as they pro- duce clear, sharp tints and shades. Cheap tinting colors make muddy hues and a great- er quantity is needed to pro- duce a given color. Mix, in a separate container, tinting colors with turpentine or oil until brought to the con- sistency of the paint, then strain the color and add it to the lead slowly before the paint is strained. Better too little color than too much, because later the final straining of the white lead paint breaks up the color and intensifies the tint or shade of the paint. The formulae given in this pamphlet will not always re- sult in the exact tone shown by the color chips, as tinting col- ors differ greatly in strength. It is suggested that in tinting Eagle White Lead the color be added gradually and that the mixer satisfy himself as to when the desired shade is reached. All formulae shown in this chart are based on the amount of standard high grade tinting color needed to each ioo pounds of Eagle White Lead in Oil used, except where otherwise specified. To test for color match, it is well to brush the paint out on a board. Paint always looks darker in the pot than it does when spread out on the sur- face. Always mix enough paint for at least one coat for entire surface in one batch, or accu- rately weigh materials and re- cord the quantities so you can duplicate the color. Unless you are accustomed to matching colors you should follow the first suggestion. [ 5 ] For the Greater Convenience of the Master Painter Eagle Soft Paste is a soft, creamy white lead, “broken up” at our plants to shop-lead consistency. Easy to me Because Eagle Soft Paste contains twice as much linseed oil as our regular grind- ing, it may be sent out on the job in the original cans — un- opened — ready to be thinned quickly and easily for painting. Any kind of work Like our regular grinding, Eagle Soft Paste is suitable for all types of painting . . . all kinds of finishes. When Eagle Soft Paste is thinned with turpentine only, a flat finish is produced which has just the faintest suggestion of a gloss. For dead-flat effects, the oil may be readily “drawn” and the lead thinned to painting consistency. Still Old Dutch Process Both Eagle Soft Paste and our regular grinding are products of the famous Old Dutch Process of corrosion. It is a long, slow method, taking 90 days; but until an- other process is dis- covered which pro- duces a higher quality white lead, Eagle will be pure Old Dutch Process. Packed in convenient sizes Eagle Soft Paste White Lead is packed in 100 lb., 50 lb., 25 lb., and 12^ lb. steel kegs. These packages may be eas- ily identified on the dealer’s shelf by the attractive Eagle trade-mark in the center of the label.

When painting over old surfaces that have been painted before with a true rust inhibitive paint, if the old paint adheres firmly to the metal it may be regarded as good as sound metal upon which to apply new paint. If the old paint does not adhere well, it should be completely removed by scraping, wire brushing, burning with a torch, or sand papering. Each suc- cessive coat of paint can be no better than the weakest coat beneath it. Eagle Rust Preventive Pigments should be broken up in the same manner as White Lead and mixed by the follow- ing formulae: FORMULAE Sublimed Blue Lead ioo pounds Sublimed Blue Lead in Oil 4 gallons Raw Linseed Oil 2 pints Turpentine 2 pints best Japan Drier hnportant — As stated, not more than 4 gallons of oil should be used with 100 lbs. of Sublimed Blue Lead. Eagle Red Lead 100 pounds Red Lead in Oil 2L2 gallons Raw Linseed Oil 1L2 pints Turpentine \]/2 pints Drier On metal surfaces that may become hot, such as furnace pipes and radiators, use Fish Oil instead of Linseed. Apply with a round brush. [ 11 ] Exterior Color Suggestions All formulae shown in this chart are based on the amount of standard high grade color needed to each ioo pounds of Eagle White Lead in Oil.
