FIVE FORMULAS YOU CAN MAKE

FIVE FORMULAS YOU CAN MAKE

METAL POLISH

3/4 gallon Water

1/2 pound Whiting

1 pound Tripoli

1/2 pound Silica

3 ounces Oxalic Acid

PROCESS: Mix well in a 10 quart pail. Cleans all metals,

prevents rust. Put in coloring, if desired (use water soluble

acid proof color).

NOTE: The oxalic acid renders this poisonous. If desired

non-poisonous, substitute Citric Acid for the oxalic. Use

finest powdered tripoli and powdered silica possible to avoid

scratching of surface being polished.

HOLDRIGHT LIQUID CEMENT

This is simply AIRPLANE DOPE. You can obtain this from firms

selling materials for making model airplanes. You can put this

up in bottles and sell clear or you can add aluminum powder to

make the cement look like solder. This is waterproof. NOTE:

Be careful around fire with this.

HANDCLEANER

4 quarts Water

1 box Borax Soap Chips

1 box Lux

1 pint Corn Meal

Mix well. Use as a paste hand cleaner.

POLISHING CLOTH

2 pounds Whiting

2 ounces Oleic Acid

1 gallon Gasoline (untreated or use Benzine)

Mix thoroughly.

Soak cloths, wring out, let dry. Use cutting flannel for

clothes. Do not use gasoline containing lead. This cloth is

for silverware and other metal surfaces.

"MYSTO" EYE-GLASS CLEANER, POLISH AND STEAM

PREVENTATIVE COMBINED

Cleans and polishes eyeglasses and acts as a steam preventative.

Castile Soap . . . . . . . . . 1/4 bar

Glycerine. . . . . . . . . . . 1 tablespoonful

Oil of Sassafras . . . . . . . 1/2 teaspoonful

PROCESS: Cut the Castile Soap into small pieces and add enough

water to cover the soap, then boil over a slow fire, stirring

until thoroughly dissolved and without lumps of any kind

appearing in the mixture, so that it becomes perfectly smooth

and of even texture. Now add the tablespoonful of Glycerine and

half a teaspoonful of Oil of Sassafras, stir again thoroughly

and it is ready for use.

PACKING: Put up in one-fourth ounce tubes to sell for 50 cents

retail. You may put it up in little jars if you desire.

Perhaps the jars would be easier.

LABEL: (Your name on it) Eye-Glass Cleaner and Polish. Helps

prevent steaming. DIRECTIONS: To use, apply with finger tips

to both sides of glass and polish at once with a clean dry cloth

until glass is clear. Repeat on other side. Good for camera

lenses too. Wipe dry before applying the preparation.

TO DEMONSTRATE: Wipe the eyeglasses as directed, apply the

compound and then breathe on the glass. It will not steam and

glasses will be as clear as crystal.

SUPPLY SOURCES: The Castile Soap, Glycerine and Oil of

Sassafras may be had from wholesale druggists.

TUBES from: Celluplastics Inc. Sub., Brockway Glass Co.,

McCullough St., Brockway, PA 15824

JARS: These may be easier to pack in and we suggest 1/2 ounce

or 1 ounce size. May be had from wholesale druggists or for

larger lots try Brockway Glass Co., address above.

TUBE FILLING AND CLOSING MACHINE from: Arthur Colton Co.,

3400 E. Lafayette, Detroit, Michigan.

NOTE: The right quantity of water to use in "Mysto" Eyeglass

Cleaner will have to be determined from experience - so make

your first few batches small ones. Too much water will cause

the product to be watery in tubes or jars. On the other hand,

if it is too stiff it will take too much rubbing to polish the

glass. Just enough water should be used to make a jelly form of

product that is soft but not watery. The amount of water needed

varies with the grade of soap used.
