Staining.--General
Observations.
When
alabaster,
marble,
and
other
stones
are
coloured,
and
the
stain
is
required
to
be
deep,
it
should
be
poured
on
boiling
hot,
and
brushed
equally
over
every
part,
if
made
with
water;
if
with
spirit,
it
should
be
applied
cold,
otherwise
the
evaporation,
being
too
rapid,
would
leave
the
colouring
matter
on
the
surface,
without
any,
or
very
little,
being
able
to
penetrate.
In
greyish
or
brownish
stones,
the
stain
will
be
wanting
in
brightness,
because
the
natural
colour
combines
with
the
stain;
therefore,
if
the
stone
be
a
pure
colour,
the
result
will
be
a
combination
of
the
colour
and
stain.
In
staining
bone
or
ivory,
the
colours
will
take
better
before
than
after
polishing;
and
if
any
dark
spots
appear,
they
should
be
rubbed
with
chalk,
and
the
article
dyed
again,
to
produce
uniformity
of
shade.
On
removal
from
the
boiling
hot
dye-bath,
the
bone
should
be
immediately
plunged
into
cold
water,
to
prevent
cracks
from
the
heat.
If
paper
or
parchment
is
stained,
a
broad
varnish
brush
should
be
employed,
to
lay
the
colouring
on
evenly.
When
the
stains
for
wood
are
required
to
be
very
strong,
it
is
better
to
soak
and
not
brush
them;
therefore,
if
for
inlaying
or
fine
work,
the
wood
should
be
previously
split
or
sawn
into
proper
thicknesses;
and
when
it
is
necessary
to
brush
the
wood
several
times
over
with
the
stains,
it
should
be
allowed
to
dry
between
each
coating.
