Wa′ter-proof′ing Leath′er.

A number of special compositions have been employed for rendering leather water-proof by filling up the minute pores-Among them are: 1. Boiled linseed-oil, mutton suet, yellow beeswax, and rosin, melted and applied while hot to the leather slightly warmed. 2. Linseed-oil, rosin, white vitriol, spirits of turpentine, and white-oak sawdust. 3. Yellow beeswax, Burgundy pitch, turpentine, and linseed-oil. 4. Two parts tallow and one rosin. 5. Apply a coating of tallow to the leather, and afterward a second coating of one part copaiba balsam and two naphtha. 6. Caoutchouc, boiled for two hours in linseed or neatsfoot oil.
