  Hello Wright,
 
 You are right, the "old-fashioned" aquarium cement is asphalt-based.
 
 W.T. Innes gives the following recipe:
 
 Take pure asphalt (usually comes in broken up chunks) heat and mix
 50:50 with heavy-bodied linseed oil. When moderately warm it should have
 the consistency of putty.
 
 Best,
 
 George

Hello George,
    Am I right in assuming the asphalt used in built up roofing is what we 
are talking about here?  If so which of the two grades should be used.  It is 
furnished as Dead Level Asphalt for flat roofs and Steep Asphalt for a roof 
with a slight slope.
