When using white lead or whiting with liquid shellac in the form of pat-
ent knotting, the former is always added to the latter, stirring continually to a
cream-like consistency. Traditionally this was done on a slate or stone slab until
fully integrated, and trowel-applied to the prepared rubber. The brick would
then be laid to position to exude a thin bead of joint, allowed to dry sufficiently,
and then neatly cut off flush without staining the work; in readiness for full rub-
bing-up once the work dried.
The former Hornsey Road Baths, London (1894), designed by A. Hessel
Tiltman (1854-1910) is built in the Queen Anne style of red brick with dress-
ings of gauged work and cut stone. There are superb examples of
in situ
carved
gauged work with two griffins (Fig. 138) and two lions either side of the large
gauged arched vehicular entrance and a large carved cartouche in one gable
when the building was extended in 1914.
