Engineer's Cement

Mix ground as will make it of the consistence of putty.

This cement is employed by engineers and others to make metallic joints. A washer of hemp, yarn, or canvas, smeared with the cement, is placed in the joint, which is then screwed up tight. It dries as hard as stone.

This cement answers well for joining broken built of stones, however large. Cisterns built of however, to use it for the whole joint. (See No. 2169.)
