Hide glue powder

Even with all the modern adhesives on the market, animal glues are still the right call for many applications. Since animal glues can be debonded at any time with gentle heat, they are an obvious choice for sensitive restoration and repair jobs, and the choice for Luthiers. Bone and hide glue also offer high strength, good low-pressure gap-filling ability, high initial tack, and fast cure. Forget their reputation for being smelly and messy; held at the proper temperature in an electric glue pot, hide glue stays ready to use all day with minimal attention, as opposed to the noxious fumes and short pot life of other adhesives. Choose bone glue for a rigid bond; rabbit skin glue for elasticiy. For a good general purpose glue, we recommend regular hide glue, a light-colored, high grade odorless glue. Instructions included. About $5 - 7.00 per pound.
