Glue to resist heat and moisture is made as follows: Mix a handful

of quick-lime in four ounces of linseed oil, boil to a good thickness,

then spread it on tin plates in the shade, and it will become very

hard, but may be easily dissolved over the fire as glue.

A glue which will resist the action of water is made by boiling one

pound of common glue in two quarts of skimmed milk.
