We would add a hoof or 2 to the mix to add a little elasticity to the set up glue. essential for veneer work.

It's all my Grandfather would allow us to use in our furniture shop. NOTHING better for veneer work. It's perfect for any wood working project use real sinew for my arrow's to hold the feathers and rock tip's and hide glue is all you should use in this application. The ONLY draw back is the fact it is NOT water proof at all.

You can buy ready to use in a bottle,nowhere near as good as the heat to use kind.
