As for using hooves....they have been used to make glue for 9600 years at least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoof_glue
Keratin is a protein collagen is in all connective tissue. We treat our horses hooves regularly when they get to dry to keep the collagen healthy. Justin

How come Tim Baker was so adamant that glue could not be made from hooves? He said in the glue chapter that hoof glue was a total myth.

Justin Snyder:
OK, for some usefull information. If you don't have a warming pot to keep your "animal glue" from jelling. A candle warmer works great. It takes a few minutes to warm up, but it will keep it warm without getting to hot. Justin

I bought a miniature electric crock pot from Wally World for about $6 that I use. I found it in with the candles and scents and I think it is used for scented oils. Keeps the hide glue at a perfect temp and has a lit to help prevent evaporation. I still add water as needed...and it has a nice floral design on it. ;D Pat

Guess Iam pretty "backward" :D I have a ole' cast iron pot that I make fish glue in on a firepit in backyard. When glue is ready I take off grate add 2 cinder blocks ta raise put pot back on and it keeps glue just right. Course cant do bows when it rainin' >:( ;D......bob
