Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 307, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 December 1913 — Sprayer in Place of Brush. [ARTICLE]

Sprayer in Place of Brush.

The use of stenciling in the decoration of houses has been limited to a considerable degree to designs of a coarser nature because where an effort was made to utilize complex designs, the paper of which the stencils are made will be found unable to withstand the wear and tear to which they are subjected. The field of usefulness of this art has been recently extended by the use of the paint sprayer which has been found to be superior to the brush for this character of work. The modern paint ipray is capable of adjustment so Ine that paint may be thrown in a Ine from the smallest stripe to a sroad spray for coating surfaces, rhe possibilities of producing novel sffects are unlimited because stencils not practical to brush are easily iprayed without injury to the most Helicate stencil or mask, such, for Instance, as lace stemming and the ase of leaves for stencil or* maskproducing effects.
