Liquefiable Sealing-wax.—Heat two parts Venice turpentine, and dissolve therein four parts white shellac; remove the heat, allow to cool somewhat, and add ten parts 96 per cent. alcohol. Rub five parts cinnabar into a paste with alcohol, and add this to the mixture, stirring constantly during the addition.
