It is in a orange and white box.
Be sure to get the unflavored / no sugar added type.

It will make very strong glue.

The unflavored gelatin is the highest food grade hide glue...colorless, odorless, flavorless.

Can you imagine floating your business plan past a small business loan officer..."Yeah, I wanna take hide glue, add sugar and artificial color and flavor, then sell it to housewives to feed their kids."  Jay ee el el oh!

Yeah, it's odorless when it's cool, but when you start heating it up in the double boiler, it smells like you're boiling a billy goat........

put knox in metal bowl w/ water and heat until consistency of syrup or a little thinner....used for applying sinew to bows, attaching sinew to arrows...and tons of misc. stuff.
its 100% pure refined and filtered hide glue making it the strongest hide glue(from what I've heard and also my own experiences as well, I am no expert)

Yes, knox gellatin from the grocery store - works very well for sinew and I'm sure a hundred other things from my experience :).

when backing a primitive bow...   can you use leather...  i mean not raw hide...  but leather lick soft leather...   ther is a store in fort worth about 40 min from my home and it sells all kinds of leather... its called tandy leather...  and i know sometime they have a scrap bend that sells all the scrapes for about 10 bucks a pound... and i have seen sometime long strips of soft leather in that ben...  but im talking about soft died leather like they would probably use for a coach or coat or something....   i didnt know if that would work as a backing???  cause i know rawhide is really hard isnt it...  and sinew or at least the pics ive seen of it from suppliers looks to be tuff and dried out as well...  im sure they have both sinew and rawhide in that store "Tandy Leather"  becuase they have all kinds of leather there but i think some of it is expensive stuff...  i have only been there a handfull of times but i always shop out of there scrape ben... i was only grabing scrapes to make sheaths for the knives i was forging a couple of yrs back... oh i also made a quiver about 4-5 yrs ago.. still got the thing... i put it togather out at the dear lease.. one night just happened to take the scrapes with me cuase i was trying to finish a sheat for a knife for my cousin that wanted to use the knife on the hunt...

sorry, i know i get off topic alot...hehehe...

but yea i was thinking of maybe trying to use some of that soft leather for a backing one day... would this nox glue work for that...  or is the leather im speaking of not good for baking a bow?????

is nox glue better than titebond III ??????
