Hide glue

Hello all.  I decided to try something new on my next batch of hide glue.  Anyone ever try this… I’ve got this crock pot that has a keep warm setting on it so I tested out the temps filled with water and it was around 60 degrees.   I thought we’ll that’s convenient!  I figured that was a good temp for making hide glue.  I gathered up a bunch of my scrap pieces and started slow cooking it first pic is after day one the next is after day two.  I tested to see if it gels and it did.  Still gonna let it go for another day of so.  If this works then this will be the easiest hide glue I’ve ever made!   Let me know your thoughts and if anyone has tried this.

I have zero experience making hide glue but it’s something I want to do this winter yet.

I would have thought that 60 degrees would have only been warm enough to make it rot .

I will be watching

PS if I use one of my wife’s crockpots can it be cleaned up good enough for her to use again? Or will I just have to buy her a new one?

BJ, it might be 60 degrees C.  That would be around 140 degrees F

Okay that makes sense.

I don’t have experience with hide glue but I do have some experience with hides.lol even a few stinky ones.
