HOMESTEAD GROUND HIDE GLUE - Our Hide Glue is the traditional glue sold in dry, granular form and is mixed with water to form a gelatin which is then heated to at least 140 degrees F. The gram strength of this glue is 192 which is best for all woodworking applications because it has a slightly longer open time than hide glues of a higher gram strength. Mix ratio is 1-3/4 to 1 (water to glue) by weight. 1 LB. PLASTIC JAR.
