Making Casein glue

[@Rana.192]

Thank you so much, so helpful❤

[@elfdome2716]

This is the best Casein Glue tutorial I've seen and I looked at plenty, Thank you so much for sharing.🌲By any chance do you know of a Casein based lacquer, seeler.

[@jdilisio6414]

I've heard of casein being used for jointing and as a wood sealer. What do you use it for?

[@antonsomersviolins9452]

I used it for both.

[@ultrei]

Is there a way to preserve this kind of glue? If there is, can you please specify the ingredients to use and the amount needed as well

[@antonsomersviolins9452]

No , there is not. Keep it in the fridge. Best to make it fresh every time.

[@ultrei]

@@antonsomersviolins9452 i see i see, we'll try keeping it in the fridge and check if it is still good to use. im doing this for our research project in school. thank you!

Could you actually show us how strong/reliable a joint it would make for example on neck joint compared to regular hide glue please?

[@jjay-p6p]

Hide glue is hygroscopic, meaning it never loses its ability to reabsorb water. Casein does not do this as readily. Hide glue is used when restoration will become necessary at some point - it is a more reversible glue. Casein is very strong.

what % slaked lime ? or is that important? you added 1/2 tsp. to ( 1 c.milk ? 2 cups ? )

[@GEOsustainable]

Slaked Lime is Hydrated Lime or Sodium Hydroxide.

[@violinmaker4271]

No Calcium hydroxide is slaked lime, sodium hydroxide is lye.

@@GEOsustainable HeyGEO nice to see ya! Ive got a cool recipe now! I dont understand this chemistry stuff at all but I just kept experimenting, the stuff they give us at the supermarket and ebay is alot of the work done for u already, but I wouldnt call it nature friendly...

[@GEOsustainable]

It's been awhile. Yes, you can just add a handful, make it as thick or thin as you want.

[@GEOsustainable]

@@magnuswootton6181 I may start fiddling with this again soon.

[@magnuswootton6181]

Notice how you put it in the poison at the end. =)

[@philippewatel4393]

Or at least measuring in weight the resulting curd. 1/2 ts of lime for what? 5 tons of cheese 2 microgram of cheese?

[@philippewatel4393]

Forgetting the original volume of milk makes this recipe USELESS
