The primer can be mixed with half oil and half turpentine. It is safer to cut down the amount of oil, using 2-3 turpentine and 1-3 oil. After the priming is thoroughly hard, putty and sandpaper and apply a coat of flat color of good consistency. When hard, sandpaper to a smooth, even surface and apply a coat of 1-3 flat color and 2-3 good color mixing varnish. This paint should be flowed on smoothly and evenly. It will dry with a good gloss and make a very satisfactory finish.
