Glue

An adhesive made from the bones or hides of animals, containing two groups of proteins:
  • chondrain - affecting the adhesive strength
  • glutin - affecting the jelling strength
Glue at a weaker strength can also be used as a sizing for paper. Flexible glue contains some hygroscopic material, such as glycerine, to keep it from becoming dry or brittle.
