Animal hide glue caught my attention for a number of reasons. The first of which is the intrinsic "romance" of using a traditional adhesive that has foundations reaching as far back as Ancient Egypt and the cabinet shops of Colonial America. I also enjoy the pace of using hide glue and appreciate its reversibility and the fact that it accepts stain and finish without leaving telltale glue marks like that pesky spot of PVA that you missed during final clean up.
All that said, while hide glue is not the main glue in my shop; I have added it to my shop’s adhesive armamentarium. You can experiment with this fascinating and historic glue inexpensively. Trust me, you won't regret the adventure!
