SPECIAL SOFT COAT MAT PAINT
E. P. Finigan Co., Distributors.

 

A rubberized waterproof preparation, made to preserve and
sanitize gym mats and to remain pliable throughout the life of the
mat. Gets smoother with usage, does not peel. Do not compare or
confuse this product with ordinary paint, canvas deck paint, can-
vas preservative, etc. None of these will give you the same soft
result. We have tried them all.

The proper painting of your mats will appeal to you if you
picture the dust, the filth and the germs that a piece of 21 oz.
canvas will absorb in normal use and abuse as a mat covering. In-
clude in the picture, sweat, skin, blood, scabs, germs from athletes
foot, etc. Now picture the modern sanitary method approved by the
Division of Health and Physical Education of the State Board of
Education and you see the soft, grey, glossy coated mat that will
not absorb these things. No laundry bills, no expensive and unsat-
isfactory attempts at having your mats cleaned. Just sponge them
off with water and an antiseptic solution occasionally.

A saving investment. Mats cost a lot of money and there is
nothing that gets harder usage. They are jumped on,-rolled around
and dragged across the floor. When painted, they last two or three
times as long because the paint preserves the canvas and stitches
from rotting and takes most of the wear.

Our painted mats are standard equipment at the University of
California at Berkeley, Los Angeles and Davis, at the San Francisco
and San Jose State Teachers Colleges, at the Olympic Club, in the
public schools of San Francisco, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Ventura,
Eureka, Visalia, Reedley and in many other educational institutions
and clubs throughout the state and nation. We have no record of
any institution, once having used HE. P. Finigan Co. painted mats,
returning to the use of unpainted mats. This, we believe, is the
most convincing endorsement of the process we can offer.

One gallon is sufficient to cover a mat 50 square feet in
size. For example, one gallon will cover both sides of a 5! x 10!
mat with three coats. Complete instructions for treating the mats
are furnished with the order. Price is $6.00 per gallon.
