Adhesives or cements - for they are not necessarily the same - are used in almost every trade, but the most generally known are those employed by the carpenter and joiner and the builder. The one uses glue and the other mortar or cement, and these two substances are about the best examples that can be taken to illustrate the difference in the two words, although as a rule they are used indiscriminately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth the carpenter and the builder, however, use many different kinds Of adhesives and cements, although the two mentioned above are generally all that the man in the street knows anything about, and it is very little knowledge indeed that he has even Of them. In fact, he knows so little that, in most cases, he would be better without that know ledge, for he uses it and so does some botching which would far better be left undone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
