To make a polish for the rollers of mangles and wringers use 1 pt. of methylated spirit, 2 oz. of gum sandarach, 2 oz. of seed lac, 2 oz. of gum benzoin, and 2 oz. of best beeswax. Dissolve the wax by gentle heat in sufficient turpentine to make a thin paste, and add it to the above after the gums are dissolved and carefully strained. Mix well together, and apply with soft flannel or a wadding pad as used by polishers. If the mixture is too thin, or seems a long time in giving a good result, or is to be applied by means of a camel-hair brush instead of pads, add more seed lac.
