CEMENT (DIAMOND), for China, &c. — Soak isinglass in water
till it is soft, then dissolve it in the smallest possible quantity of proof spirit,
by the aid of a gentle heat. In each ounce of this mixture dissolve five
grains of ammoniacum, and while still liquid add the quarter of a dram
of rectified spirit ; stir well together, and put it into bottles. When required
for use liquefy the cement by standing the bottle in hot water and use it
at once.
CEMENT FOR BLACK SATIN, &c. — Mix lamp black and
brown hard varnish together until the required consistence is obtained.
Apply sparingly.
CEMENT FOR CHINA. — Make a thick solution of gum arabic
with warm water, and stir in plaster of Paris. Use while warm and set the
article away for two or three days to dry. It cannot be broken again in
the same place.
CEMENT FOR CISTERNS. — Add sufficient boiled linseed oil
to equal parts of white and red lead to produce a thin paste. Spread this
over the metal and allow it to thoroughly dry.
CEMENT FOR EARTHEN WARE. — To half a pint of
vinegar add half a pint of skimmed milk ; mix the curd with the whites of
six eggs, well beaten, and sufficient powdered quicklime to form a paste.
This preparation will resist the action of water and a moderate amount of
heat.

CEMENT FOR FASTENING LABELS ON TIN BOXES.
-Mucilage of tragacanth, ten parts ; honey, ten parts, and dry wheaten
flour, one part
CEMENT FOR GLASS OR EARTHENWARE. — Mix
together in an iron saucepan two parts of gum shellac and one part of
Venice turpentine. When sufficiently cool form into sticks, which must be
melted before a gentle fire when wanted for use. Great caution must be
used in the preparation of this cement, as turpentine is very inflammable.
Or, dissolve half an ounce of gum acacia in a wineglass of boiling water ;
add sufficient plaster of Paris to make a thick paste, and apply it with a
brush to the fractured parts.
The white of egg mixed with lime also forms a strong cement for this
purpose.— .Si?* also Glass, To Unite Neatly.
CEMENT FOR LEATHER AND CLOTH.— Gutta-percha,
one pound ; indiarubber, a quarter of a pound ; pitch, two ounces ; bulled
oil, two ounces ; shellac, one ounce. Melt together and use while hot.
CEMENT FOR MARBLE. — Melt together some shellac and
sulphur ; hold the fractured parts to the fire till quite hot, then apply the
mixture.
CEMENT (JAPANESE) ; or, Transparent Glue. — Mix to a
thick paste, with cold water, some powdered rice flour ; then pour upon
it sufficient boiling water to reduce it to the required consistence, stirring
it incessantly the while ; pour it into a saucepan, and boil for one minute.
This forms a strong and almost colourless cement.
CEMENT (MASTIC), for Repairing Stonework. — Sifted sharp
sand, twenty parts ; litharge, two parts ; freshly burned and slaked lime,
one part. Mix sufficient linseed oil to form a putty. This cement, which
is also used for inner walls, becomes quite hard in a few hours.
CEMENT (PROFESSOR DAVY’S), for Drain Pipes, Gutters,
&c.— Melt together two parts of common pitch, and one part of gutta-
percha. Heat the pipes with a hot iron, and pour the cement upon the
leaky places. This cement may be dried and preserved for use, and is
equally applicable to glass, ivory, leather, porcelain, and wood.
