Put as much <m>verdigris</m> as <m>sal ammoniac</m>, as much <m>borax</m> as <m>saltpeter</m>.

Grind into powder the ingredients on the <m>marble</m> slab, then grind again with very good <m>vinegar</m> until it is very fine, like a ground color, grind <m>verdigris</m> with <m>oil</m>, then leave to dry if you have time, if you haven’t so much time dry it with the fire of the forge, make so that it is very dry.</ab>

Secret for soldering small works made of <m>gold</m> and <m>silver</m></head>
<ab>
If some little pieces of legs cannot be easily removed from <m>gold</m> or <m>silver</m> casting, it is because you didn’t cast <m>wax</m> under these parts. Beat some soldering <m>gold</m> very finely, then cut it into very fine flakes, cut the quantity you need. Take some of this phlegm or white and thick <m>saliva</m> which is on the teeth, put some of this matter to the place you want to solder with the point of a burin, then place your flakes, then put to the opposite part a mixture made of a small quantity of soaked fat <m>earth</m>and <m>saliva</m>, thanks to the mixture the solder will better adhere. Then pulverize a bit of <m>borax</m> on it, and heat up <m>Quince pulp seed water</m> to a boil and others too.</ab>
