Title: Hide glue?
Post by: Longear on February 13, 2010, 01:57:00 PM
Can anyone tell me the best way to make hide glue?

Or where I could buy some.

I don't know if this is in the right forum or not.

Thanks Longear

buy knox gelatin and mix it with a little cold water until it is like thin syrup.  Heat it up and you have hide glue.  Gelatin is mostly powdered pig and cow skin.

Alot of woodworkers suppy stores like woodcraft have it,If you have a violin repair shop in your area they use it and could probably hook you up.But you could mail order it alot of places.
