Although the term refers generically to concrete, cement is any agent that hardens and adheres independently, and can be used to bind materials together. There are many ways to make a durable cement at home, and avoid the cost and mysterious chemicals of store-bought cements. While simply combining flour and water makes a paste -- as anyone who has tried to clean up after baking can attest -- flour can also be used as a base of a much stronger cement.
Step 1
Mix resin glue and flour together in saucepan without heat.

Step 2
Add warm water slowly, mixing quickly to form a paste.
Step 3
Stirring continuously and vigorously, mix in hot water until the paste is smooth and without lumps.
Step 4
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is clear and thick.
Step 5
Add cinnamon oil.
Step 6
Use, or transfer to tightly lidded glass jar, where it will keep for a few days.
Tip
Be sure to wash saucepan and spoon directly after use. Once cement hardens, it becomes very difficult to remove.
