Take 1 gallon of the chamois bath (No. 1. page 226, at bottom); to
which add
8 ounces of nitrate of copper,
24 ditto of muriate of zinc; thicken with
6 pounds of pipe clay, and 3 libs. of gum senegal.
After printing-on this paste, the goods must be hung up for five or six
days in a somewhat damp room. Then after having dipped them in the vat,
they are to be steeped in water for half an hour, and slightly washed.
Next wince for half an hour, through water at 100° F. containing 2
pounds of soda crystals per 30 gallons. Rinse and dry.
