Does it come in bottles now? I remember using hide glue back in the
1950's in wood shop. It came in chunks and had to be melted and kept
heated in an iron pot to use. I can still smell it.

I meant to say Elmer's glue. I could only remember the name Borden,
who makes it. Dairy, cows, cowhide, it's all related. I think Elmer
is Elsie the cow's husband.

Franklin has been putting it in plastic squeeze bottles for some years
now. It contains urea to keep it from curing in the bottle at ambient
temperature. Outside the bottle, it cures over several hours but at least
you don't have to heat it up in a glue pot.
