The recipe
Ingredients
Directions
Melt the oil and tar over a gentle fire.
Test the mixture for proper consistency when cooled; adjust by heating longer or adding more resin and tar if necessary.
Pour the cement into the angles of the aquarium while heated, but not boiling hot to avoid cracking the glass.
Allow the cement to firm for a few minutes before repositioning the aquarium to treat the next angle.
