Diamond
Cement.
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
two
ounces
of
this
mixture
dissolve
ten
grains
of
ammoniacum,
and
whilst
still
liquid
add
half
a
drachm
of
mastic,
dissolved
in
three
drachms
of
rectified
spirit;
stir
well
together,
and
put
into
small
bottles
for
sale.
Directions
for
Use.--Liquefy
the
cement
by
plunging
the
bottle
in
hot
water,
and
use
it
directly.
The
cement
improves
the
oftener
the
bottle
is
thus
warmed;
it
resists
the
action
of
water
and
moisture
perfectly.

Rice
Flour
Cement.
An
excellent
cement
may
be
made
from
rice
flour,
which
is
at
present
used
for
that
purpose
in
China
and
Japan.
It
is
only
necessary
to
mix
the
rice
flour
intimately
with
cold
water,
and
gently
simmer
it
over
a
fire,
when
it
readily
forms
a
delicate
and
durable
cement,
not
only
answering
all
the
purposes
of
common
paste,
but
admirably
adapted
for
joining
together
paper,
cards,
&c.,
in
forming
the
various
beautiful
and
tasteful
ornaments
which
afford
much
employment
and
amusement
to
the
ladies.
When
made
of
the
consistence
of
plaster-clay,
models,
busts,
bas-relievos,
&c.,
may
be
formed
of
it;
and
the
articles,
when
dry,
are
susceptible
of
high
polish,
and
are
very
durable.

Using
Egg.
The
white
of
an
egg,
well
beaten
with
quicklime,
and
a
small
quantity
of
very
old
cheese,
forms
an
excellent
substitute
for
cement,
when
wanted
in
a
hurry,
either
for
broken
china
or
old
ornamental
glassware.
