ANSWER—This is the last answer we will print for Vernon
Bryant's inquiry about a formula for old-fashioned whitewash.
Roy Leaman of 534 Park Drive, Boiling Springs, PA 17007,
writes that there is a whitewash material available that is simi
lar to materials used in the 1700 s and 1800 s by the new set
tlers in this country. Shellbond Products Inc. developed'and
patented the process using a kiln to make a whitewash from
discarded sea shells, just as the settlers did. The processed
shell will bond to wood or stone and can be used with’oil
instead of water, in which case it makes a water-repellent
seal. The product may be applied to metals or painted sur
faces if the painted surfaces are prepared by brushing off the
flaky material. Colored chalk may be added if desired. Lea
man is starting production of Shellbond Products on his farm
near Carlisle in cooperation with his cousin Norman Filbert,
who is .the developer of the patented process and co-founder
of the company. The product is $47 for a 30 pound bag or $74
for a 50 pound bag, which is ready to be mixed with water for
application as a white wash. Contact him at the above
address or call (717) 258-6247.
