Ingredients

  • four ounces of linseed oil
  • one pound of common glue in two quarts of skimmed milk
  • a handful of quick-lime in four ounces of linseed oil
  • two quarts of skimmed milk

Directions

1

Crack the glue and put it in a bottle, add common whisky; shake up, cork tight, and in three or four days it can be used. It requires no heating, will keep for almost any length of time, and is at all times, ready to use, except in the coldest of weather, when it will require warming. It must be kept tight, so that the whisky will not evaporate. The usual corks or stoppers should not be used. It will become clogged. A tin stopper covering the bottle, but fitting as closely as possible, must be used.

2

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.

3

A glue which will resist the action of water is made by boiling one pound of common glue in two quarts of skimmed milk.
