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.

And my wife thinks I bought to make cheese cake -C- >:D (lol)!  The house brand at wallyworld is even cheaper, and the same stuff.
