1 Claim. (CI. 91-70) My invention relates to an improved process heater or the like. As illustrated in Figure 1, of finishing articles, and more particularly to a one or more of the articles 10 which are to be process of applying liquid coatings on metal, finished are suitably supported and immersed in glass, wood or other suitable material. a relatively thin solution of the coating, such as It is an object of this invention to provide an 5 indicated at H.

When the wrinkle coat is sprayed upon less waste of material. a dry surface a considerable amount of material Another object is to provide an improved meths defl cted a d ost by the slack.

with less waste of material by pro-dipping the WRINKLING FINISH articles prior to applying the spray coat. As an example o finishing articles y y m- Referringtothe drawing: proved process, I will describe it in connection Figure 1 is a diagrammatic representation with the application of wrinkle finish. In this with accompanying perspective illustrations of instance the metal pa a first pp d into a the difierent steps in my improved method of thin solution preferably Comprising a t e finishing articles; of the wrinkle enamel which has been thinned Figure 2 is 'a diagrammatic illustration of how 100 P cent With tOluOlother o s 00 my method may be performed with the use of a patible with wrinkle finish composition may be continuous conveyor system, employed in place of toluol. Where a nitrocellu- Referring to the drawing in detail, there is lose base wrinkle is used, acetone or ethyl acetate, shown for the purpose of illustration the finishetc. may be used, or a mixture of these with ing of a casting or pressed steel article forming toluol, xylol, benzol, etc. may be employed. the base of an appliance such as an electric fan,
The use oi this thin mixture readily coats the article and fills up all the pores and small crevices and the surplus coating rapidly drains from the article leaving no sags or teardrop formations. The draining of the article usually requires about five or ten minutes and it is then ready to be sprayed with the wrinkle finish composition as it is conventionally prepared for spraying. In this instance, however, the enamel is heated to approximately f50 to 165 degrees F. After application of the spray coat the article will be suitably dried or baked to provide a durable finish.
As exemplary of a suitable wrinkle finish composition which may be employed in my process, the following formulae are given:
WRINKLE FINISH COMPOSITION It will be understood that the temperature at which the coating composition is sprayed will depend to a considerable extent upon the amount of solvent used and the condition of the surfaces to be treated. The material will be heated high enough to lower the viscosity of the composition to the point where it will flow readily and yet be below the boiling point of the solvent used in the coating composition. A heavy bodied material, such as generally encountered in wrinkle finishes, will spray with greater ease and speed when heated to around 165 to 1'70 degrees F.
In my improved method the pre-dipping of the metal, prior to spraying, in a thin solution of the coating composition thoroughly cleans the surface of the articles by loosening and dissolving grease and the like foreign matter and the coating penetrates into the pores of the metal surface where it dries and becomes thoroughly interlocked therewith. This initial thin coating provides an excellent base for the application of the spray coat which unites thereto and forms a thoroughly adherent coating. This method of applying coating is likewise applicable to the treating of wood, glass and other articles wherein the surface is somewhat porous, It will be appreciated that if desired the article itse f may be heated prior to the application of the coating.
In connection with the pre-dipping step it will be understood that other suitable compositions may be used than a mixture of the final spray coat composition with thinner; for instance it may be desirable to use a composition distinctly different from the final spray coat. To this end it is only necessary that the final coating possess the property of adhering satisfactorily to the coating applied by dipping.
It will be appreciated of course that the details of procedure in carrying out the various steps of my improved process can be varied with- 1 out departing from the spirit of my invention as defined by the appended claim.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
An improved method of finishing metal arti-' cles consisting of the steps (a) dipping said article in a low viscosity coating composition comprising wrinkle drying oil, resin and solvent, wherein the solvent is added in excess to provide a liquid coating composition which will rapidly drain from said article and remove foreign mat.- ter, (b) applying thereover a spray coating of a relatively high viscosity wrinkle drying composition while the initial coating is still tacky, said wrinkle drying composition comprising wrinkle drying oil, resin and solvent, and (0) baking the coated article to produce a wrinklefinish and said finish coating being applied while heated to a temperature of approximately to F.
