A selection of historical paint references

摘要

In the case of the Paint Roller it was the disruption of the importation of hogs bristles from China for the manufacture of Paint Brushes and the shortage of labour that brought about the development of a quick and easy DIY method for applying paint that did not require hogs bristles. In the case of water borne Emulsion Paints it was the shortage of Linseed Oil and Mineral Spirits as these resources were diverted to the war effort.
