CHAP. XV.
To make Pastils.
YOU need not be over-curious in grinding
your Colours exceeding fine; but be sure to
mix them well together; and to the Colours add
a reasonable quantity of Plaister of Paris burnt,
and finely sifted; mix them well together thick
and stiff like moist Clay; then take the Colour
off the Stone, and betwixt the Palms of your
Hands rub it out as long, or as litle as you
please, and dry them in the Sun or Wind, not
by the Fire; when they are dry, with a Pen-Knife
scrape them to a fine sharp Point at one
end.
Remember that when you temper fast and
firm Colours, as Vmber, Oaker, Indico, &c. you
use the less quantity of Plaister of Paris;
but where your Colours are loose, and sandy, or
Smalt &c. add the greater quantity.
