Summary
Paper leaflet 'Directions for QUEEN SHEBA LIQUID GOLD' in cardboard box (BLG/MISC/532.1). 'DIRECTIONS for "QUEEN SHEBA" LIQUID GOLD Which must be strictly adhered to if the Gold is required to keep its colour for a great length of time. 1st-Shake the bottle well and stir well with the brush. 2nd-each time the brush is dipped in, before taking it out, stir well ; if this is not done the liquid only is used, and the Gold is left at the bottom. 3rd-Never less than two coats should be applied. 4th-The first coat should be thickly laid on, every crevice worked into and covered ; but it must not be laid on so thick that it runs down the work. 5th-The second coat to be put on an hour after the first ; this should be laid on as lightly and as evenly as possible (when applying the second coat don't go over the same place twice). 6th-If a large article is to be gilded, such as Mantel Glass, or Large Picture Frames, &c., it is better to use a larger brush, such as a Camel hair dabber, or Mop. 7th-TO CLEAN YOUR FINGERS QUICKLY, if soiled, pour half- a-spoonful of ordinary Paraffin Oil upon a bit of rag and then rub your hands with it. the same will also clean glass if the brush has touched it. 8th-When painting the Frames of Oil Paintings (to make sure that the brush will not touch the painting), place a piece of paper between the picture and the frame. 9th-If a plaster figure is to be painted, on no account should our Gold be put on without a first coat of Shellac Varnish ; the plaster being very porous, it is requisite in every case. 10th-The Liquid being Inflammable, please keep away fro open flame. Point 1-Impossible to improve. Point 2-Renowned Universal Success. Point 3-The only Liquid Gold worth value, and without a doubt a 1/9 bottle is worth 10/-. Point 4-A bottle of this now Renowned Household Requisite will gild permanently a good-sized Mantel Glass, Picture Frame, &c., in a few minutes, and if done with care will look exactly like English Gold Leaf, and will be difficult for an expert to tell the difference. Point 5-Useless articles transformed at lightning speed into ornaments of value and beauty. ________________________________ Use our "SHEBA" WOOD FURNITURE VARNISH STAINS, free from resin, therefore not brittle ,not sticky when warm, nor rub off when rubbed.
