199. Scarlet

199.    Scarlet. For every 100 pounds of fabric, boil, in a suitable kettle, 11 pounds ground Honduras cochineal, 5 pounds half-refined tartar or 3 pounds tartaric acid, 2 pounds oxalic acid, 1 pound tin crystals, 11/2 pounds flavine, 10 pounds scarlet spirit (see below). After it has boiled for about fifteen minutes, cool the dye to 180° Fah., enter the goods, handle them quickly at first, and let them boil slowly for 1 hour, when they will be a good scarlet. Take them out, cool, and rinse in cold water. If it should happen that the wool or flannel shows some white hair, which is generally the case when new wool is used, then add 5 pounds of raw muriatic acid to the dye. This powerful agent will work wonders in scarlets, oranges, and pinks, as it tans the wool, which is perhaps a little greasy, and prevents the tin crystals from fastening too quickly to it, and thereby evener colors are obtained. This latter fact is very valuable, and not generally known.

Scarlet spirit is thus prepared: Take 16 pounds muriatic acid 22° Baum'e, 1 pound leathered tin, 2 pounds water. The acid should be put in a stoneware pot, and the tin added, and allowed to dissolve; the mixture, should be kept a few days before using.
