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.

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

[@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.

[@kcajmortsnnew1488]

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.

[@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!

[@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
