PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Putty or Marine Glue.
I, CHRISTIAN ALBERT JENSEN of No. 77 Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a com-
munication to me from abroad by William Miller Walters, Master Mariner of the
Steamer "
Hippomenes "of Liverpool, at present on the high seas) to be as
follows:-
This invention refers to a new kind of putty or marine glue such as is used for
instance for paying ships' decks' seams and the like.
A suitable composition is made as follows:-Fifty six parts by weight of whiting,
powdered chalk or other suitable material, fifty parts of resin and six parts of
linseed or other suitable oil are mixed and melted together under the influence of
heat, the proportions being varied as may be desired in order to render the putty
more or less tough or stringy. This putty is of a whitish colour.
The distinguishing features of this putty is that it may be manufactured cheaply,
that it is very efficacious and that while capable of being liquefied at a
comparatively high temperature it may easily be run into deck or other seams in
the ordinary manner.
Dated this 14th day of October 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Putty or Marine Glue.
I, CHRISTIAN ALBERT JENSEN of No. 77 Chancery Lane in the County of
Middlesex Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a com-
munication to me from abroad by William Miller Walters, Master Mariner, of
the Steamer "Hippomenes" of Liverpool) and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention refers to a new kind of putty or marine glue, such as is used
for instance in paying or filling the seams of ships' decks, coating bilges and ships'
bottoms in place of Portland cement; lining tanks and barrels; and for use
generally where so-called marine putty, glue or cement is available.
Putty or glue under my invention consists essentially in combining as hereinafter
set forth a resin with linseed or other suitable oil and whiting, powdered chalk,
slaked lime, plaster of paris, barytes, magnesite, fullers' earth or like substances.
The resin is first melted at a temperature of from 200° to 300° Fahrenheit whilst
being stirred or agitated so as to prevent burning, when thoroughly melted, say in
about half an hour, I add the oil and raise the temperature say to about 350° Fahren-
heit whilst continuing the stirring or agitation. In from five to ten minutes
the two ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the whiting or like substance
is then added little by little whilst the temperature is raised to from 400° to
500° Fahrenheit. The stirring or agitating being energetically continued until
practically all the air and moisture in the mixture are expelled, say from one to
two hours. The mixture is then run off into convenient vessels, is allowed to cool
and is then ready for use.
I prefer to carry on the manufacture in a copper vessel heated by gas so that

page_text: the temperature may be readily and accurately regulated, and the agitation may be
satisfactorily effected by means of rotating arms.
When a very hard glue or cement is required, say for use in tropical countries, I
combine say 40 parts by weight of resin with one part of oil and 76 parts of
whiting or equivalent material.
When a moderately hard and elastic glue or cement for use at ordinary
temperatures is required I combine 50 parts by weight of resin with 6 parts of oil
and 56 parts of whiting or equivalent material.
When a very soft and elastic glue or putty is required I use in combination
70 parts by weight of resin, 12 of oil, and 30 of whiting or like material.
It will be understood that the proportions in each case may be varied more or
less without departing from my invention.
Amongst the distinguishing features of this glue or putty is, that it may be
manufactured cheaply, that it is very efficacious, and that whilst in some cases
liquefying at a comparatively high temperature it may be easily run into seams in
the ordinary manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
First. Putty or glue having the composition herein set forth.
Second. Combining resin oil and whiting or like material substantially as
specified and for the purpose set forth.
