Hi,
Today I got lots of very valuable woodworking info from a good friend
of mine. He is an experienced and guilded furniture builder and has
worked with different instrument builders too. I got excellent tips on
tools and materials. He came also with the tip of using household
gelatin as glue instead of hideglue. Quite some instrument builders
seem to use it.
The advantage is the lack of smell (don't mind that as a vegitarian)
and the fact that it is refined (clean). Also it is easilly obtained
from the supermarket. Further it seems to work the same as hide glue.
So I am told.
Does anyone have experience using gelatin? Some first hand experience
could be great.
Regards, Douwe
