Three Good Cements

then add boiling water, and boil til, as
thick as paste. When cool, add q little
alum or oil of cloves.
Waterproof cement. for repairing rlar-
BILE or. porcelain, is made by mixing
plain white glue and milk. Unslakej
lime and the white of al egg makes a
good cement for ordinary use, as does
also plaster of Paris blended TO a cream
