Isinglass is used for "fining" beers and wines and so is Knox unflavored gelatin.  I KNOW the Knox makes good glue.  Try prepping two pieces of wood and glueing them together!

You might be able to.

According to the MSDS it has potassiom metabisulfate and citric acid added.  I don't know how the citric acid would affect it's composition, if at all.

at $22 per liter, it's not too expensive, so try it out.
