Parnell:
Is there a quality difference in deer rawhide vs. say beef rawhide of the chew toys?
I know how picky some folks get over horn bows and such with having fish bladders and all.
Does dog chew rawhide make good glue?
dmenzies1950:
Parnell, I have used rawhide from elk and deer as well as cow rawhide and have never noticed a difference in the performance. I have used chew toys when I haven't had anything else and have good results with those as well. Dale

Pappy, after I cut my gelled glue up in tiny pieces I put it in front of a fan for several days. Once it looked like they were dry as a bone, I let them set out in the open for a couple of weeks in my shop to make sure there wasn't any moisture left in them at all. I store them in a small jar. I can't tell you what kind of jar :-X

I poured mine out over a sheet and let dry. Be careful of humidity if bacteria starts to grow it will all turn to water. I have a book called hude glue and it said that the cakes would be place out on nets to dry. I just made mine real thin so it would dry real fast.
