Titebond Genuine Hide Glue is a classic woodworking adhesive that is prized for its unique properties:
1. **Natural Composition**: Made from animal collagen, typically sourced from hides, bones, or hooves, which gives it its traditional and natural characteristics.
2. **Reversible Bond**: Unlike modern wood glues, hide glue can be reactivated with heat and moisture, allowing for disassembly and repair of joints without damaging the wood.
3. **Long Open Time**: Provides an extended working time compared to many modern adhesives, allowing for intricate assemblies and adjustments.
4. **Traditional Use**: Often preferred for antique restoration, musical instrument building, and period furniture reproduction where authenticity and traditional methods are valued.
5. **Non-toxic**: When cured, hide glue is non-toxic and safe for use in applications where food contact may occur.
6. **Versatility**: Suitable for bonding wood, leather, and other porous materials, making it versatile in various woodworking and craft projects.
7. **Application**: Requires heating to liquefy before use (typically in a double boiler setup or with a glue pot), and it sets quickly as it cools.
Titebond Genuine Hide Glue appeals to craftsmen and artisans who appreciate its historical relevance, reversible nature, and strong bond that withstands the test of time in woodworking and restoration projects.
