Synopsis
Excerpt from The Preservation of Wood, Steel and Galvanized Surfaces
The object of paint is twofold: To protect the surface and incidentally to beautify. A good paint must spread easily, smoothly and evenly under the brush. It must retain its color and not change in composition when exposed to sun and storm or the many gases arising from the combustion of coal, etc., but must in short - wear.
