Animal glue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hide glue may be supplied as granules, flakes, or flat sheets, which have an indefinite shelf life if kept dry. |
 | | Gelled hide glue does not have significant strength, so it is vital to apply the glue, fit the pieces, and hold them steady before the glue temperature drops much below 120°F. All glues have an open time, the amount of time the glue remains liquid and workable. |
 | | Where hide glue is in occasional use, excess glue may be held in a freezer, to prevent spoilage from the growth of microorganisms. |
