Isn't gelatine obtained from animal bones (I had a veggie friend who always
used to avoid anything with it in)?
Is this just the stuff one buys for making jelly (jello?) etc from the food
store?
Sounds interesting.

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
