This is best quality Hide glue (also called Scotch Glue) as used and recommended by the Antique furniture trade and high class Luthiers.
Pearl Glue is the traditional and extremely strong wood glue that is used for antique furniture restoration, veneering, traditional joinery work and for the making and repair of musical instruments. 

This is the same glue we sell to the Antiques trade for antique furniture restoration and to Luthiers for musical repairs, but that’s not just because it’s traditional or because it was original used, but because it still has many unique and desirable qualities that modern glues cannot equal. Our Pearl glue dries hard upon cooling; it does not allow creep between the assembled components and has excellent resistance to changes of humidity and temperature, which are important features for any furniture glue. Another major benefit of using Pearl glue is that the joints can if required, be re-done, because the glue can be re-softened and the joint disassembled by injecting (or soaking) the joint in warm water.  This ability to re- soften the glue cannot be equaled or repeated with modern glues like PVA or Polyurethane. However Pearl glue has its limits and is not especially resistant to damp, moisture or alcohol, but if you are restoring antique furniture then Pearl Glue is the main glue that you should use.  If you are using Pearl glue then a 4" x 2" Cabinet Scraper is a handy tool to have, we sell Cabinet Scrapers singly and in sets in our Ebay Shop


How to use

Soak the glue overnight in about 3 to 4 times its volume of water. Heat this solution in a double pot until all the glue has melted. If the glue is too thick then just add some more water to the solution. Do not allow to boil.  The glue is used warm because it dries as it cools.  Keep the glue warm by sitting the glue pot in a bath of warm water. Any unused glue in the pot can be re-heated / melted and re-used a further two or three times although old or dirty glue must be discarded and a fresh solution made. 

We have this glue available from our Ebay shop in a range of other sizes from 50 grams to 5kg bags
