pole paint - Painting of Signal Masts and Backgrounds

[NW Mailing List]

A few days ago I sent to the List a little comment on railroad paint, in answer to a query from Mr. Cochran.

It now dawns on my antique brain that I failed to include one of the ingredients in the paint mixture given to me by that old Signal Maintainer who hired almost a century ago. I left our Japan Dryer.

So the mixture should read:

1. Linseed Oil
2. Lamp Black
3. Graphite
4. Japan Dryer

Happy paint mixin', Mr. Cochran !
