Cement
for
Broken
China,
Glass,
&c.
This
cement
being
nearly
colourless,
possesses
advantages
which
liquid
glue
and
other
cements
do
not.--Dissolve
half
an
ounce
of
gum
acacia,
in
a
wineglass
of
boiling
water;
add
plaster
of
Paris
sufficient
to
form
a
thick
paste,
and
apply
it
with
a
brush,
to
the
parts
required
to
be
cemented
together.

Lime
and
Egg
Cement.
Lime
and
Egg
Cement
is
frequently
made
by
moistening
the
edges
to
be
united
with
white
of
egg,
dusting
on
some
lime
from
a
piece
of
muslin,
and
bringing
the
edges
into
contact.
A
much
better
mode
is
to
slake
some
freshly-burned
lime
with
a
small
quantity
of
boiling
water;
this
occasions
it
to
fall
into
a
very
fine
dry
powder,
if
excess
of
water
has
not
been
added.
The
white
of
egg
used
should
be
intimately
and
thoroughly
mixed,
by
beating
with
an
equal
bulk
of
water,
and
the
slaked
lime
added
to
the
mixture,
so
as
to
form
a
thin
paste,
which
should
be
used
speedily,
as
it
soon
sets.
This
is
a
valuable
cement,
possessed
of
great
strength,
and
capable
of
withstanding
boiling
water.
Cements
made
with
lime
and
blood,
scraped
cheese,
or
curd,
may
be
regarded
as
inferior
varieties
of
it.

White
Lead
as
Cement.
Cracked
vessels
of
earthenware
and
glass
may
often
be
usefully,
though
not
ornamentally,
repaired
by
white
lead
spread
on
strips
of
calico,
and
secured
with
bands
of
twine.
