20. Best Copal Varnish — Beduce 2 pounds of gum 
copal to fine powder, and pour it into a copper kettle that 
will hold three or four gallons, and melt it over a fire of 
charcoal. When the gum is dissolved, add one pint and 
a half of hot flaxseed oil, having removed the gum from off 
the fire, stirring smartly while adding the oil. When it is 
partly cool, add slowly three quarts of spirits of turpen- 
tine, still stirring. Care must be taken that the contents 
of the kettle are not too cool while adding the turpentine; 
if too hot it will take fire; if too cool it will not mix well. 
Strain while warm.

answer well for coffins. 
23. Varnish to render Paper 'Transparent . — Heat two 
gills of spirits of turpentine in an earthen vessel; when 
hot, add two ounces of resin, and stir until dissolved. 
Varnish both sides of your paper with one coat, and when 
dry it will be clear enough to read through. Lay this 
paper on a picture and mark the outlines, then cut it out 
and paint through the hole. In this manner you may 
paint any figure you may desire.
