Oil Varnish
Take any quantity of the best linseed oil, let it boil for an hour, then to every pound of oil add a quarter of a pound of the clearest rosin in powder, stir it well till dissolved; then add for every pound of oil used, one ounce of spirits of turpentine, strain it and bottle for use. Note. -- This is a cheap and good varnish for sash frames, or any work where economy is required; it has besides the property of bearing hot water without being damaged, and is not subject to crack or scratch.
