Show Ink for Labeling Bottles. In a small bottle place an ounce and a quarter of methylated alcohol, add a half-ounce of shellac, and when this last Is dissolved immerse the bottle bot-tle in hot water until the solution is warm. Then add slowly, while stirring stir-ring rapidly, a solution composed of one hundred and fifty grains of borax dissolved in two ounces of water. Finally add coloring matter to suit, four or five grains of methyl violet vio-let being satisfactory and dissolving well upon shaking. This makes a very fine waterproof ink for writing the labels la-bels upon bottles and for other purposes pur-poses about the darkroom. . . |
