Note 5 — Chapter II

(p. 12.) The roller for revarnishing, spoken of by M. Lalanne, and also recommended by Mr. Hamerton, cannot be bought in this country. Nor—with all due deference to the great experience of M. Lalanne—is such a large and expensive roller necessary. The rollers used by our most experienced etchers—Mr. Jas. D. Smillie, for instance—are little cylinders of India-rubber, about one inch in diameter and one and one-half inches long. They cost from 50 cents to $2 each. But these rollers cannot be used with etching-paste. The oil of lavender in the paste attacks the rubber and destroys it. As to the manner of using the India-rubber roller see Note [12].
