Paint - Spirit Type Coating
The medium is a solution of the binder, which is created by dissolving a solid in a liquid (solvent). This form of coating dries initially by evaporation of the solvents, then some polymerisation takes place.
The binder used may be a natural resin i.e. Shellac, Damar, Sandrac or a manmade binder, nitro cellulose, chlorinated neoprene rubber. The thinner is often a blend of solvents, which is capable of keeping the binder in the solution and ensuring it evaporates at the right speed to suit the atmospheric conditions and the form of application.
