Hide Glue


Recommended Posts

You can make your own with this recipe I like:

you can even make quite a bit and freeze the extra.  The granules keep forever, more or less.

 

i bought mine from Bjorn Hide Glue, but their webapage isn’t pulling up for me at the moment.  Cheaper than supplier middlemen, for sure, although I think the minimum order was a pound of granules.  If you decide you like hide glue the leevalley glue pot is very worth while.

Per a tip from Derek, I use one of these.   It works fine, and even has a lift out little tub.   Mine doesn't have "wax warmer" written on it, but it looks just  like this one.

I have been using hide glue for years for gluing up my violins.  I have used glue from JR music supply in RI.  I stay away from the liquid hide glues because of all the urea contained within.  The stuff I use is defiantly reversible and it has a fantastic scent, uck.  I make up just enough for a week and i throw it out after that time.  I store it in the evening in the refrigerator.  This seems to work for me.
