Synopsis
Excerpt from Every Man His Own Painter: Or, Gilman's Guide to House Painting and Graining, in Oil and Water Colors, Enameling, Kalsomining, Varnishing, Whitewashing, Carriage Painting, Striping and Ornamenting, in Plain English
And in the next place, I have endeavored to give practical receipts. Having had fifteen years experience in the painting business, I can safely predict that this work will be a great benefit to those who want to save money by doing their own painting; and that it is worth more than ten times its cost, in any family.
In order to do a good job of painting, two things are necessary. First, to have good, well-mixed paints and good brushes; and secondly, to have the work in good condition to receive the paints. It is just as absurd for a person to undertake to do a good job of painting with half-mixed paints, as for a farmer to undertake to chop his wood with a meat-ax. To insure success be sure to have your paint thoroughly mixed, your work well dried, and the knots and pitchy places well covered with shellac varnish.
