Hoof glue

<< < (3/5) > >>

Hawkdancer:
Got some hooves, read all the comments, best idea so far seems to be get the sinew and loosen the actual hooves for bow tips, clackers, or whatever.  Save the hide and bones for other stuff!   Long ago, I read that hoof glue was very good, but never found a recipe to make it.  Hide glue, well, I got gelatine, and can mix in a bit of water if I decide I need it.  Good comments!  Don't have a pressure cooker, but that might work!  They cook meat to mush!   -C- >:D

Thanks Lethis. I got my terminology wrong. DC might get better results boiling down carrots. At least he could eat his results.  ;)

I left the dish of "glue" out overnight. It didn't even try to gel. Carrots would make better glue. ;D

Better yet, use the carrots to catch Bugs Bunny and make hide glue from his outer wrappings.  Rabbit skin glue is highly prized in bookbinding and restoring old paintings.
