Solution
Islands residents have long needed an efficient solution for treating canvas and calico goods.
Hitherto waterproofing solutions have, in time, rotted the material. However, it is claimed that fabrics waterproofed with the new T.W.H. solu tion will not rot or stick together.
This preparation is an Australian product speci ally prepared for waterproofing canvas, duck, japara, cotton and jute goods. The solution, it is stated, is free from all injurious chemicals and acids and does not shrink the material. Nol only does, the product make the fabric waterproof, but it also! strengthens the material.
T W.H. is a penetrating solution and allows the. material to retain its natural flexibility. It is pre-. paired in all colours, which are fast and impervious to salt water. One gallon of the solution, it is said, will cover 20 square yards when brushed into a light material, but a larger area can be covered when a heavier texture is used.
The manufacturers of the solution are Messrs.
Taylor, Williams and Halliday of 180 Elizabeth Street, Sydney, who supply the product in five gallon drums, one gallon and half gallon cans, and quart and pint tins.
