Mr Willis recommande [...] pour les resorties de terre que voici :

two ounces of borax are to be dissolved in a pint of boiling water, and a sufficient quantity of slaked [...] added to give it the thickness of creand. This is to be applied ba y painter's brush, and allowed to dry over this, a thin parte is afterwards to be applied, formed of slaked [...] and common linseed oil, well mixed and perfectly plastic.

Fot joining together the parts of iron vessels, a mixture of the finest china clay, with a solution of borax is well adapted.
