Title: hide glue
Post by: Knapper on May 29, 2012, 07:32:00 PM
Could I have some input on what is considered the best  and strongest hide glue available commercially in granular form?

Thanks

I've always got mine from Pine Hollow and it worked great.

If you have never used hide glue before, be ready, it takes some practice regarding temperatures.

Lab grade gelatin, the kind used for DNA testing is like ultra pure bone and hide glue and is super strong, clear and doesn't smell like some hide glues.  If you have a university or or medical contact, you might be able to get some.  Just a thought.  I have used it a lot.
