message: I just did some minor cleanup, removing red links, and took out the mention of "noxious odors" as a reason animal is now "more difficult to find and use." Modern synthetic adhesives are widely accepted despite odors, not to mention vapors requiring ventilation and masks in some cases. I have gotten the occasional stinky batch of hide glue, but no longer get it from those sources. Decent quality glue with an inoffensive odor is easy enough to find, thanks in part to online vendors addressing the long tail of the market. I don't have any experience with fish glue... If anyone wants to restore the "noxious odors," a reliable source will be nice to see. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 23:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Modern hide glue smells just as bad if you overheat it. IMHO it's not the glue that has changed, it's the use of thermostatically controlled electric gluepots, rather than gas stoves to heat it. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In my training I used an improvised water bath consisting of a Pyrex custard cup in a rummage-sale saucepan on a flea market electric hot plate. Nowadays it is a stainless steel cream pitcher hanging over the edge of a dedicated crock pot slow cooker, without a thermostat. Temperature control amounts to how far aside I push the lid. Although luthiers have a name for being cavalier with their glue (there is a ref for that wording somewhere, but can't be asked to chase it just now) I haven't lost a batch to overheating or microbes in many dozens of months, knock on wood. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 23:08, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's worth having a thermostat, and an adjustable, repeatable one at that (I use a chemistry lab stirrer hotplate, just because I happen to have one, with a traditional cast iron inner). Changing the temperature changes the viscosity, which can be useful for some tasks, especially veneering.  A thermostat control, rather than just equilibrium control, allows faster warm up too.

message: The Sami people use glue boiled from European perch to make bows by manufacturing tree composites. No source yet. But the bows are among the best to be found. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 09:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: When you find a source, you may want to add it to composite bow as well. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 13:34, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I have heard animal glue (as heated in the old-type glue-pots) being referred to as `Scotch Glue'  (this being a generic term, and not a brand name).  Does anyone know why? Barney Bruchstein (talk) 15:31, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know.  One of my 1920s books (at a time with lots of large area veneered  work, but before the synthetic glues take off) says that it's a cheap form of hide glue, being made from bones rather than hides. It goes on to say that it's made in cakes, like slabs of toffee, and isn't available as quick-melting pearls, "as the better brands of glue are now supplied". Overall it seems to be saying that Scotch is a second-rate form of glue and less convenient to use. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

text: It might might been used in that context as a synonym for "cheap" as per the stereotype of Scots being frugal. --Ericjs (talk) 17:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

message: Seriously.
Keratin glue is a thing but "hoof glue" is not. The manuals which reference it appear to have plagerised a wikipedia article which is based on a mistranslation in a book of "ἐκ διπλοῦ σανιδώματος ταυροκόλλῃ" from polybius. ταυροκόλλῃ does not say "cow's hoof glue". It just says bull glue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.130.11 (talk) 07:54, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
