If flour and water make glue, add butter and egg you get cake.

Were does the glue go.

How do they set concrete structures that are under the sea? Without the masses of water not giving the concrete a chance to 'set'?

so it becomes the concrete? surely then whenever we lay concrete we are using up water which can never be replaced.. and surely then if we keep laying concrete then maybe one day there will be none left ?!

You could always get some Hydrogen and Oxygen... Btw the reaction is called Hydration, the concrete and water forms hydrates and hydroxides iirc.
