Primitive hide glue
DC:
I just went to Wikipedia and read about keratin. It is a protein but it says that "it's extremely insoluble in water" and that it resists acids. That's why cats cough up fur balls. That makes me think that hoof glue is a myth but I'd be interested if someone can get it to work. It's collagen that makes glue and there is collagen in bone so you can make glue from bone.

Hoof glue is a myth
Hawkdancer:
I think "hoof" glue is a misconception of hide glue, or a mixture like pitch glue - but I haven't made either one yet.
Sleek,
Drink good Irish uisge beatha( whisky) and eat your broccoli! I think in my case, being weird and crazy keeps so called normal people away! That's why I fit in here so well! A proper stout or red ale on occasion also helps, as does a good mead! (lol) (lol) And if you shun fermented or distilled beverages, well that is your choice, and I support that, too! Hopefully the public houses and inns will soon reopen here! Luckily, we are able to get take out on food and some beverages, if needed!
