Calculation
of
Quantities.
To
ascertain
the
quantity
of

(the
sheets
being
20-1/2

Practical
Instructions.
Choose
a
fine
day
for
the
operation,
as
the
glass
should
be
perfectly
dry,
and
unaffected
by
the
humidity
of
the
atmosphere.
Of
course,
if
you
have
a
choice,
it
is
more
convenient
to
work
on
your
glass
before
it
is
fixed
in
the
frame.
If
you
are
working
on
a
piece
of
unattached
glass,
lay
it
on
a
flat
table
(a
marble
slab
is
preferable),
over
which
you
must
previously
lay
a
piece
of
baize
or
cloth
to
keep
the
glass
steady.
The
glass
being
thus
fixed,
clean
and
polish
the
side
on
which
you
intend
to
operate
(in
windows
this
is
the
inner
side),
then
with
your
brush
lay
on
it
very
equably
a
good
coat
of
the
prepared
varnish;
let
this
dry
for
an
hour,
more
or
less,
according
to
the
dryness
of
the
atmosphere
and
the
thickness
of
the
coat
of
varnish;
meantime
cut
and
trim
your
designs
carefully
to
fit
the
glass
(if
it
is
one
entire
transparent
sheet
you
will
find
little
trouble);
then
lay
them
on
a
piece
of
paper,
face
downwards,
and
damp
the
back
of
them
with
a
sponge,
applied
several
times,
to
equalize
the
moisture.
