Wa′ter-proof glue.

Dissolve one ounce of gum-sandarac and one ounce of mastic in half a pint of alcohol, and add one ounce of clear turpentine. At the same time a very thick glue is to be prepared and added to the first-mentioned solution, both of them heated almost to the boiling-point, and stirred intimately together. After mixture, it is to be strained through a cloth, when it will be ready for use. This glue is to be applied hot.
