SECTION I. INTRODUCTION. JAPAN GROUNDS. JAPANNING OR ENAMELLING METALS. PROCESSES FOR TIN-PLATING. GALVANIZING. SECTION I. INTRODUCTION. Japanning may be said to occupy a position midway between
painting and porcelain enamelling, and a japanned surface differs from
an ordinary painted surface in being far more brilliant, smoother,
harder, and more durable, and also in retaining its gloss permanently,
in not being easily injured by hot water or by being placed near a
fire; while real good japanning is characterised by great lustre and
adhesiveness to the metal to which it has been applied, and its
non-liability to chipping--a fault which, as a rule, stamps the common
article. In the English method, where necessary, a
priming or undercoat is employed. Moreover, they found it
equally unnecessary in the case of papier-mâché and some other goods. SECTION II. JAPAN GROUNDS. and
then polish as before described". Green japan grounds are produced by mixing Prussian blue or distilled
verdigris with orpiment, and the effect is said to be extremely
brilliant by applying them on a ground of leaf gold. Orange-coloured grounds may be formed by mixing vermilion or red lead
with King's yellow, or orange lake or red orpiment (? PURPLE GROUNDS. Purple grounds may be produced by the admixture of lake or vermilion
with Prussian blue. BLACK GROUNDS. Black grounds may be formed either from lamp black or ivory black, but
ivory black is preferable to lamp black, and possibly carbon black or
gas black to either. Common black japan grounds on metal by means of heat are procured in
the following manner: The surface to be japanned must be coated over
with drying oil, and when it is moderately dry must be put into a
stove of such heat as will change the oil black without burning it. TORTOISE-SHELL GROUND. Varnishing is the last and the finishing process in japanning. SECTION III. JAPANNING OR ENAMELLING METALS. The last coat of all is one of
varnish. ENAMELLING BEDSTEAD FRAMES AND SIMILAR LARGE PIECES. At Fig. JAPANNING TIN, SUCH AS TEA-TRAYS AND SIMILAR GOODS. Only a small quantity of this varnish
is necessary, as it will dry dead. ENAMELLING OLD WORK. SECTION IV. Of course,
it will be understood that every portion of the stove must be put
together with rivets, no soldered work being permissible. 3--Showing Stove when Open, and Back of Door.] Of course, they must always be covered up when not in use. Such a stove may be heated--

graphite. BLACK STAIN FOR IRON. ; lamp black or mineral black,

1/2 lb. of tar oil, well heating
the whole in an iron vessel before applying. Copal resin may be substituted for the amber, but it
is not so durable. SECTION VI. PROCESSES FOR TIN-PLATING. SECTION VII. GALVANIZING. Galvanizing, as a protecting surface for large articles, such as enter
into the construction of bridges, roofs, and shipwork, has not quite
reached the point of appreciation that possibly the near future may
award to it. THE END. INDEX. A
