Excerpt from Painting by Immersion, and by Compressed Air: A Practical Handbook In many industries the application of paint for preservative or ornamental purposes is imperative and the item of expenditure is an important one. There is abundant evidence to prove that the application of paint, either by means of dipping, spraying or other mechanical means, effects an enormous saving of time over the old method of using brushes, while the coats of paint are more durable and thorough. This saving of time not only lowers the cost of production to a very considerable extent, but it permits of a large increase in the output. The process of "flowing-on" enamels and varnishes described in the following pages effects an even greater saving of time in those cases where it is applicable. The extent of this saving can be judged by the fact that a complete coat of enamel can be given to the body of a fourseated touring car in the almost incredibly short time of two minutes! These processes are used to a very large extent in many industries, particularly those connected with metal work and engineering. In the United States of America and in many parts of the Continent they have reached a high degree of perfection. In Great Britain the adoption of the methods is rapidly increasing. It is hoped that this book will be found of service to manufacturers who desire to ascertain whether the processes can be economically employed in their particular industry or to those who contemplate putting in a plant for the purpose. It should also be helpful to those who have not been very successful with a trial plant or who desire to bring an existing plant fully up-to-date in its equipment. And it should be said at once that the few cases of failure which have come to the notice of the author have been found on investigation to be due either to the use of paint unsuitable for the purpose or the adoption of a plant which is unfitted for the object aimed at. Three examples may be given. In one small castings were dipped in black paint, but it was found that "tears," or runs of paint which did not dry properly, often occurred.
