Bookbinding Glue: Recipe

Handy Recipe - Tipnut.comMaterials:

1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
3 TBSP boiling water
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp glycerin

  • In a small glass bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Add the vinegar and glycerin and stir.
  • To use, apply a thin layer of glue with a brush while it’s still warm.

Store glue in a sealed jar. It will keep for several months and eventually it will begin to gel. When that happens, simply immerse the jar in a pan of warm water to liquify.
