Wo, GEORGE FREDERICK HENRY CLARK, Gentleman, of 5 Saint James's Terrace,
Regent's Park, in the county of Middlesex and ROBERT INGHAM CLARK, Varnish
Manufacturer, of Leadenhall House, Leadenhall Street, in the city of London, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a cement or composition for fastening
wood, linoleum, floor cloth, or other covering to iron or steel decks, wood flooring
and the like applicable also for other purposes.
In manufacturing our improved cement or composition we mix and combine the
following ingredients in about the proportions named, videlicet ;
Fusel oil (or other solvent) free from water about
Amber or other fossil
Shellac about
Pigments about-
Rubber about
gum
about
1 gallon.
6 lbs.
-
2 lbs.
-
2 lbs.
-
lb.
The fusel oil (or other solvent such as naphtha alcohol or the like) is heated to a
temperature of about 150. degrees Fahrenheit. The amber or other fossil gum is
powdered and added gradually, continued stirring being necessary. The shellac is
added in a powdered state. The rubber is used in about the proportion of half a pound
to the gallon as an adhesive to unite and help the solution, the pigments being finally
added.
We sometimes find it advantageous to add a small quantity of boiled linseed oil
immediately after the amber or other resin is dissolved.

page_text: Our improved cement or composition, in addition to being used for adhesive
purposes can also be employed for treating felt or like material so as to render it. hard
and waterproof and applicable to various uses such for example as for covering the
decks of torpedo boats.

We sometimes find it advantageous to add a small quantity of boiled linseed oil

Our improved cement or composition in addition to being used for adhesive
purposes can also be employed for treating felt or like material so as to render it hard
and waterproof in which case the proportions of the solvent and pigment are
increased. Our cement is also applicable to various other uses such for example as
for covering the decks of torpedo boats.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
The manufacture and use of the improved cement or composition formed by mixing
and combining the ingredients herein mentioned, substantially as described.
