hide glue ?
nugget:
Once you are done do you just keep it in the fridge?
radius:
just seems strange to glue wood together with jello!
So, uh...can I eat yellow glue, too?
And what about moisture?
Hillbilly:
Or pour it into something shallow so it spreads out thin and let it dry. Radius, Tim Baker tested Knox as being stronger than TB, URac, or almost any other glue for wood/wood. It's just not waterproof. All the old Turkish/Asian composite horn bows were put together with hide and fish glues.

I always seal my Hide Glue Sinew wrapped tips with Spar Varnish...keeps it from getting wet
mullet:
Nugget ,yea just put it in the frige until you need it next time. Just heat it up and add a little water, like heatin' up thin gravy.
radius, yea you can eat it. Or use real hide glue, the gelatin out of the canned hams.
