Mix, cold, 2 oz. of Australian red gum, 6 oz. of orange shellac, ½
pint spirits of wine; put all into a bottle, and shake it up
occasionally till the gums are dissolved; strain, and it is fit for use.
This is far preferable to the above size, as it is more hardening, dries
quicker, is always ready for use, and is never affected by damp in
change of weather.
