how to prepare rabbit skin glue

[@nhokonhokopuala]

Ty for this, I always wanted to use rabbit skin glue and this was rather helpful, the guys that work at my art shop supply rarely know this. They are more branded wise, so thank you so much.

It’s an original glue used in all different way and still used today in violin and guitar making

Dear Clive, I understand that the skin glue has to be warmed in the water bath until it becomes stringy (60-70 °C) . Then it is when its sealing and gluing properties are optimal.

wow that was interesting. That is literally going back to the basics. I understand the concept of collagen when I cook roast beef. It is what flavors the roast and it makes tasty gravy

It’s an ancient glue been used for thousands of years

Great video, Thank you! I need to repair a canvas and your demonstration goes straight around more pages and pages of reading and experimentation.

Thank you Clive. This was very informative. I've had a bag of rabbit skin glue for a while now with no clue how to prepare it.

Thank you for this clear and detailed video. I have a question please, would adding alcohol or vinegar would lengthen shelf time beside keeping it in fridge? In fact, is this step good for all homemade materials for example or oil paints like gesso if you know? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Interesting.

Where did you purchase the rabbit skin glue? I am having trouble searching for some and need it for my panel preparation

[@judibooher7796]

Seems like a lot of time for making ancient glue, but love hearing how it was used ages ago... Love these kinds of lessons, great job Clive, got any new hacks?

[@CLIVE5ART]

It’s used in lots of different ways the old traditional way can teach us so much

[@judibooher7796]

@@CLIVE5ART but doesn't it crack?

[@CoxJoxSox]

I'm using it under paint for a crackle effect - have you ever done that?

[@CLIVE5ART]

Not very stable for that use but I've not tried it so can't be sure

[@Gapeachsami]

I can't see any of the comments.
