ANTON F. GLOGER, JR., AND JOSEPH P. GLOGER, OF COLUMBUS, TEXAS.
COMPOSITION FOR STAINING WOOD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,050, dated May 16, 1882.
Application filed July 11, 1881. Renewed March 24, 1882. (No specimens.)
To all whom it smay cocern:
Beit known that we, ANTON F. GLOGER, Jr.,
and JOSEPH P. GLOGER, citizens of the United
States, residing at Columbus, in the county of
5 Colorado and State of Texas, have invented
certain new and useful Improvements in Com-
positions for Staining Wood; and we do here-
by declare the following to be a full, clear, and
exact description of the invention, such as will
to enable others skilled in the art to which it ap-
pertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to the combination of
certain well-known ingredients in such propor-
tion and in such a manner as to produce a
r5 paint or stain, which, when applied, will harden
on the common woods of commerce, render
them durable and smooth, and give them the
exact appearance of black walnut, so that by
using our composition, which will cost only a
20 nominal sum of money, a piece of furniture-
a bureau,forinstance, madeof pine or poplar-
will be made as durable and elegant in appear-
ance as if made of black walnut.
This composition is constituted as follows:
25 Take one gallon of water, three-quarters of a
pound of Yandyke brown, one-half pound of
carbonate of soda, or sal-soda, one ounce of
sugar of lead, and one-half ounce of perman-
ganate of potash. Boil the water and the an-
30 dyke brown for thirty minutes, and then put
in the carbonate of soda anid the sugar of lead,
and it will at once effervesce, owing to the mix-
tare, and a compound composed of Vandyke
brown, water, carbonate of soda, acetate of
soda, and oxide of lead will be formed. Then 35
put in the permanganate of potash, and the
combination is ready for use as soon as cool.
The different shades necessary to produce
the peculiar appearance of black walnut are
made by manipulating the brush in putting 40
the stain or paint on the wood. This imita-
tion of the color and semblance of black wal-
nut can be easily effected by any ordinary
painter, a single coat generally proving suffi-
cientto give the desired color. When dry,var- 45
nish with the ordinary furniture-varnish or
with boiled linseed-oil.
What we claim as new, and desire to secure
by Letters Patent, is-
The herein-described stain, composed of wa- 50
ter, Vandyke brown, carbonate of soda, ace-
tate of soda, oxide of lead, and permanganate
of potash, in the proportions set forth.
In testimony whereof we have affixed our sig-
natures in presence of two witnesses.
