White lead for canvas filler

This is for you junkies who were addicted to white lead.

I am Bill Clements for many years I made and sold canvas filler containing white lead, until the price of lead paste went sky high. Our only source of lead paste was Kirby Paint but they are no longer selling it. I recently receiver a sample of white lead linseed oil paste from RGH Artists Oil Paints Inc.
This is the same stuff we use to get from Kirby. The sample I received is a 250 ML container weighing 1.24 lbs. which is enough to treat one gallon of linseed oil canvas filler. It will work with my filler and I see no reason why it would not work with any oil based filler. The price of 250ML is $28.75 plus shipping

I would recomend that you just add the 250 ML to a gallon of filler and mix well, best to use a paint mixer chucked in an electric drill. You will have to use a paint pourer in the gallon can to get the extra can volume you need for mixing.
