Post subject: | hide glue/rabbit skin |
I have finally gotten comfortable using hide glue. My first package that I've just finished came from Rockler, and the gram strength wasn't listed, but it was little pellets. I just ordered some from Highland Hardware (which I believe is from Milligan and Higgins), which was listed as hide glue at 192 gram. What I got is very fine pellets that is listed as rabbit skin glue. Searches on differences between the two just got me more confused (not a difficult task). Does fine granules labeled as rabbit skin glue seem correct when ordering hide glue at 192 gram? |

No, rabbit skin glue is not what you want, nor it seems what you ordered. Rabbit skin glue is used for making gesso and as a base for gilding and gold leaf. It's not a glue for wood working. I'd call the supplier. Colin |
