Excerpt from The Murphy A B, C, System: Of Carriage Painting
Yet it is not the fault of the Carriage Painter that this state of affairs exists. No class of mechanics is more keenly alive to the growing demands on them for improvement, nor has any class of work men put forward more earnest endeavors to adapt their methods and materials to the requirements of car riage building. The solution of the problem How can a carriage be painted quickly and yet durably has taxed the thought and enlisted the effort of every Carriage Painter in the land. To gain rapidity without sacrificing perma nence and durability, to safely reduce the work of weeks into the work of days, to paint perfectly and yet with push; these were the results sought for. Rapidity alone was easily at tainable by a liberal use of driers but this proved preju dicial to durability. Experimental changes and variations of the old system have been tried, and sufficiently, it may be asserted, to fully demonstrate the impossibility of con juring up speed and durability, with materials'the very na ture of which imposes slowness and prudence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the root of carroch painting issues by going straight to the materials used and providing a new system to combat the shortcomings of the old. The old system relied on lead based primers that soaked into the wood but possessed an inherent instability. The author argues that this creates issues with paint peeling, cracking, and blistering. The new approach provides primers and roughstuffs that are penetrating, tenacious, elastic, and water resistant. The centerpiece of the new system is a set of three surface mixtures, including a priming coat, a loading coat, and a final coat and provides a superior method of handling paint and varnish. This book provides a profound and practical insight into the craft of carriage painting and offers a compelling solution to the problems that have plagued painters for over fifty years. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
