Blacking.
Blacking
is
generally
made
with
ivory
black,
treacle,
linseed,
or
sweet
oil,
and
oil
of
vitriol.
The
proportions
vary
in
the
different
directions,
and
a
variable
quantity
of
water
is
added,
as
paste
or
liquid
blacking
is
required;
the
mode
of
making
being
otherwise
precisely
the
same.
2242.
Liquid
Blacking.
Ivory
black
and
treacle,
of
each,
one
pound;
sweet
oil
and
oil
of
vitriol,
of
each,
a
quarter
of
a
pound.
Put
the
first
three
together
until
the
oil
is
perfectly
mixed
or
"killed;"
then
add
the
oil
of
vitriol,
diluted
with
three
times
its
weight
of
water,
and
after
standing
three
hours
add
one
quart
of
water
or
sour
beer.
The
ivory
black
must
be
very
finely
ground
for
liquid
blacking,
otherwise
it
settles
rapidly.
The
oil
of
vitriol
is
powerfully
corrosive
when
undiluted,
but
uniting
with
the
lime
of
the
ivory
black,
it
is
partly
neutralized,
and
does
not
injure
the
leather,
whilst
it
much
improves
the
quality
of
the
blacking.
2243.
Paste
Blacking.
Ivory
black,
two
pounds;
treacle,
one
pound;
olive
oil
and
oil
of
vitriol,
of
each,
a
quarter
of
a
pound.
Mix
as
before,
adding
only
sufficient
water
to
form
into
a
paste.

Best
Blacking
for
Boots
and
Shoes.
Ivory
black,
one
ounce
and
a
half;
treacle,
one
ounce
and
a
half;
sperm
oil,
three
drachms;
strong
oil
of
vitriol,
three
drachms;
common
vinegar,
half
a
pint.
Mix
the
ivory
black,
treacle,
and
vinegar
together,
then
mix
the
sperm
oil
and
oil
of
vitriol
separately,
and
add
them
to
the
other
mixture.
