Furnaces. Fireproof Cement

A paste or mortar that will close up cracks in furnaces to keep the gas from escaping can be made as follows :-Mix
 together 75 parts of wet fireclay, 3 parts of black oxide manganese, 3 parts of white sand, and 1 part of powdered
asbestos. Thoroughly mix by adding enough water to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste over the cracks and when
dry it will be as hard as iron and stick like glue.
