Hide glue temp
JackCrafty:
I dunno... 150 degrees sounds OK to me. Back when I was washing dishes I think the rinse temp was 180 degrees? Anyway, just do the "shrivel test".
This is one reason I switched to fish glue. ;D
hedgeapple:
My crock pot has a low and high setting. With the lid off it's 135. On occassions when I had the lid on it to heat it faster, it would go to about 150 and shrivel the sinew. I usuall remove the pot from the metal cooker and set in on a towel while I"m sinewing. It will cool pretty quickly. But, I always test it with one small, single strand of sinew first.
Pat B:
I tested this crock pot with the lid on it. I'll try without the lid and see. Thanks for the info guys.
Barrage:
I've been thinking about this lately as well. What happens if you put one of those on a dimmer type switch?
AndrewS:
At 110 -115 protein begins to denaturate. If the temperature is to hot the sinew shrivels and is going to be part of the glue..... The glue is denaturated protein. I think a Temp between 110 - 130 is ok. More is to hot.
