"The Preservation of the Exterior of Wooden Buildings" by Allerton S. Cushman and Henry A. Gardner is a scientific publication produced in the early 20th century, specifically around 1911. The book serves as a comprehensive guide on the selection and application of paints for protecting and decorating wooden structures. It focuses on the technical properties of various paint materials and their effects on the longevity and appearance of wooden buildings. The content of the book meticulously examines the types of wood, the characteristics of paints, and the importance of proper application techniques. It discusses the failures commonly associated with inferior paints, such as chalking and cracking, and emphasizes the need for a careful selection of paint compositions that combine various pigments to achieve optimal durability. Specific attention is given to the blending of white lead and zinc oxide, as well as the use of inert crystalline pigments, which collectively enhance paint performance. Additionally, the authors provide insights into the impacts of oil types, thinners, and the necessity of skilled application by painters in ensuring the exterior preservation of wooden buildings.
