Hide glue is an adhesive made from animal connective tissues, primarily used in non-food applications such as woodworking and art restoration.
What is Hide Glue?
Hide glue is a type of adhesive derived from the connective tissues of animals, such as skins, bones, and other tissues. It is traditionally made by boiling down these animal parts to extract collagen, which is then processed into glue. While it has a long history of use in woodworking, art restoration, bookbinding, and other crafts, it is not typically used in food products.
