One of the standout features of our Genuine Rabbit Skin Glue is its granular form, which allows for easy dissolution in water. This feature, combined with its high strength and elasticity, makes it an excellent choice for a variety of uses. In woodworking, this glue's solubility in water makes it reversible, allowing for repositioning, while its "open time" enables easy adjustments. For painting and gilding techniques, it serves as a size for canvas and boards, and is a key ingredient in traditional gesso recipes and distemper paints.

The history of animal glues dates back thousands of years, with evidence of their use found in ancient Egyptian tombs and art objects. The first written records of glue-making processes were recorded around 200 BCE. Throughout history, animal glues have played a crucial role in woodworking, paper, and other industries. Prior to World War I, animal glues were the primary adhesive option, and even today, they remain a popular choice for their unique properties and versatility.

Our Genuine Rabbit Skin Glue is sourced from high-quality rabbit hides, which undergo a thorough curing process to extract the collagen. The resulting glue is then concentrated, dried, and pulverized for easy use. With its high molecular weight polymer structure, this glue is soluble only in water and insoluble in oils, greases, and other organic solvents.

To ensure optimal results, we recommend following the recommended concentrations and preparation methods. For canvas or panel sizing, mix 40-70 grams of rabbit skin glue with one quart of water, while for distemper paints, use 60-100 grams per quart. When using as an adhesive, adjust the consistency by adding water or heat, and apply while warm.

For a water-resistant size, add 1% aluminum sulfate or formaldehyde to the glue mixture. Potassium chloride and potassium carbonate can help prevent brittleness and crazing, while 5% glycerin can increase flexibility. Adding urea can extend the gel time, making the glue more suitable for liquid applications.
