I AUGUSTIN CLERY of 21 Alfred Place, Tottenham Court Road in the County
of London Sculptor do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
n and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved cement devised as a substitute for
cements of the kind known as Portland, Roman, Keene and other similar cements
and possessing qualities which do not exist in the above cements, such as tenacity,
durability and impermeability.
It is a well known fact that when the cements aforesaid are used as a covering
for brick walls, for instance, which are exposed to atmospheric influences it soon
swells, cracks and finally drops in pieces of various sizes from the surface to which
it was applied, thus necessitating a fresh application.
My improved cement being essentially of a stony and thoroughly homogeneous
nature is unaffected by climatic conditions, whereby the defects of former cements
will be fully remedied.
According to my invention, I use a powder (1) and a liquid (2) comprising the

According to my invention, I use a powder (1) and a liquid (2) comprising the
following substances
(1) Powdered marble
Zinc oxide
Powdered sandstone
(2) Muriatic acid
Zinc

powder (1) is well mixed with one part of the liquid 2, and the cement is applied
in the ordinary way.
This improved cement is cheap and can be applied during the coldest as well as
the hottest weather, drying rapidly in both cases.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
A weather proof and water tight cement consisting of a powder containing
75 parts of powdered marble, 15 parts of zinc oxide and 10 parts of sandstone
mixed with a liquid containing 90 parts of muriatic acid & 10 parts of zinc in the
proportions of 2 of the former to 1 of the latter, substantially as described.
