Original No.` 1,600,723, dated September 21, 1926,` Seriall No. 84,246, led January 27,1928.V Application for reissue led June' 25, 1927. SrialNo. 201,547.

lMy`` invention relates to a paint composition and also yto the process of applying the composition to the surface to betreated in a manner to provide an artistic finish,lit more particularly relating to a composition and processA of vapplying the same which will `result in a finish havin numerous cracksor net work of fissures, w ich result in a design known as the crackle effect or craze finish.

The object of my invention is to provide a very simple composition and process of applying the same which will result in a finish having numerous cracks or, fissures forming various designs of an artistic nature.-

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the crackle finish. l

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of same. There is illustrated onl .o ne particular aving numerous cracks or fissures, the process being susceptible of forming many and various designs of this crackle finish. f

To that end the invention consists 1 n providing a composition which is applied in `tvvo coats having different drying c aracteristics in that the undercoat dries slower than the outer coat, therebyl7 causing the outer coat to slip or move on t e under coat so as to produce checks or cracks which result in' peculiar designs of an artistic nature.

For the under coatI ,preferably .use what is known as gloss oil which consists of ordinary painters varnish mixed with' rosin in about the proportions of 50% benzine, 9

linseed oil1% oyster shell, and 40%-ros1n, which is in effect an elastic base.

For the outer coat, I-preferably employ the following ingredients mixed substan- 0 tially to the proportions stated for a given quantity of material: 1/2 pt. wood alcohol, 1/2 pt. denatured alcohol formula No. 5, V2 oz. highly refined benzine, Si@ lbs. lead carbonate or ordinary white. lead.

The under coat is of a character that will dry slower than the outer coat, as the alcoholand benzine will vevaporate rapidly from the Ilead carbonate, and this difference in drying characteristics causesrthe lead carbonate to slip or move on the under/coat of varnish and rosin, which' movement of the outer coat causes it toV check or crack in a manner to form arbitrarydesigns of various kinds'.`

The composition may be applied -to any u surface upon which the desired effect is to be 4. sire'd coloring matter, may be added -plying the outer coat.

secured such as interior walls and any 'deto the iriigredients of the outercoat. The artistic e ect may be produced with large cracks or- Avery small cracks or fissures, this depending upon the way in which .the outer coating is applied, either lightly or heavily, and the design maybe changed by changing the method of application, i. e. by app ying the i outer coat by vertical strokes of the brush instead of applying it by horizontal strokes of the brush. To that end, what has 'been called `the outer coat may be applied by one or more applications, and if desired, what has been called the under coat ma be also made in one or morea'pplications o the varnish and rosin, and it is only necessary to let the under coat stand a. short time before ap- It will only require a, short time for the under coat to become .sufliciently smooth and hard to apply the outer-'coat to the best advantage and very soon thereafter the outer coat will begin to lslip upon'the inner coat and this outer coat being of a lasticcharacte'r, the ridges and grooves wi l be irregular in character and portions thereof will necessarily be squeezed or kneaded vinto raised or embossed surfaces.

lIt is to be understood that with changes in atmospheric conditions there will be correspondin .changes in the method of application 'an the exact proportions of the ingredients, but I have endeavored to illustrate the composition of the materials and, the method of application suitable for a plication under normal atmospheric con j tions. Any one versed in the art will quickl 1y learn by experience how to4 obtain the best results under any and all atmospheric conditions. 'f

Nothing set forth and claimed in the divisional application Serial No. 117,242 filed June 21, 1926, is hereby waived. 4 Having thus described claim as follows: 1. .The method of applying a finish toa surface, consisting in applying to the sui'- `face two distinct liquid coatings having different drying characteristics, the first coating stan ing a short time before appl ing thesecond coating, the under coating aving al relatively smooth surface and .the outer of a plastic character, the differences in the drying characteristics of the two coat-A my y invention, Iv 10 ings being such as to cause the plastic coating to'slip upon the under coating causing portions of the lastic coat to assume a raised or embosse character. y

2. The method of a plying a finish to a surface consisting in rst applying lto said surface a liquid coating of an elastic base, allowing bSallie to stand a short time and thereafter applying an outer coating of plastic character, the two coatings avm dierent dryin characteristics, the under coatingbeing s ower to dryl than'the outer coating' whereb the outer plastlc coating will slip upon t e under coatlng.

3. The method of producing an artistic finish to a surface consisting in applying to ysaid surface a liquid composition of a character that will quickly acquire a smooth and thereafter applying an outer coat of a plastic character, the two coats having diflferent drying characteristics, the under coat being slower to dry than the outer coat.

` 4'. The method of producing an artistic finish to a surface consisting in applying to said surface a liquid composition comprising' a mixture of varnish and rosin, allowing same to stand a short time, then applying to said surface another liquid composition comprising a mixture of white lead with alcohol and benzine having the characteristic of drying faster than the first composition.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
