Knox is just a more purified Hide Glue...it will shrink up as the Sinew Shrinks up...the two work in unison...try it..you'll like it!!!
radius:
cool, i think i will...and thanks for the joke, btw...that's f'n fun-nee!
JackCrafty:
One of the big differences between good hide glue and gelatin is that gelatin does not have a strength rating or "grade". Good hide glue will be predictable. Good hide glue will also enable you to choose the "open" time by choosing a certain grade of hide glue.
If you use Knox then you're rolling the dice. It could lead to disappointment. Personally, I don't use it.
nugget:
I was wanting to use the knox hide glue for gluing fletch wrapping down on arrows and other small projects where I need to glue sinew down.
leapingbare:
if you put your hide glue in the fridge it will still dry up,, take a week or two.. ifin ya dont plane on usein it again anytime soon I'd say freeze it.
