For the Brain Trust . . .
« on: January 08, 2019, 06:40:49 pm »

For the Brain Trust -

I can across this product from 3 Rivers Archery . . . desiccated hide glue granule.

I’m thinking about using it in arrow building . . .

I hesitate to use it for bows . . . maybe not !

regards,

John

Just use gelatin.  Commercial hide-glues tend to be brittle.

Knox gelatin is the best hide glue I've used.  It works great for bow building.
