Hide Glue

[D.L. Bullock]

Soaking is not necessary at all.  You just need to stir it more often as it
heats.  Do not boil it, though.

Hi List,

In the instructions normally given for hide glue, it says to add the water
and leave all night.

I can't for the life of me figure out, why this is so.

If it is heated up, and is clear, and of the consistency you want, what is
the difference.

I just made some up, and it seems ok, after 3 hours, from adding the water.

Would someone please explain, why the requirement for soaking?

Thank you.
