To Color Japan Varnish

The above is a transparent japan, but by the fol. lowing modifications any or all of the various colors may be made from it. It is indispen sable that the colors be ground to an impalpable powder before mixing with the varnish, and should then be thoroughly ground with the varnish, otherwise it is preferable to apply the color first as a paint, and varnish afterwards with the above transparent japan.

Previous to varnishing a painted surface, it should be cut down with pulverized pumicestone, &c., as directed in No. 3015.
