Folks -

Okay, hypothetical question here... Let's say I discover I'm out of hide
glue flakes. Would a standard white rawhide dog chew bone work if you
ground it up and treated the shavings like hide glue? How about those
sintered ones that are formed?? The dog hates those ones.... Regular hide
glue is rabbit skin, no? Chews are what, pork or beef skin? Would it work?

Of course, I could just get out more, but thought I'd ask for feedback. The
dog says NO.

Jello powder ought to work as hide glue is just unrefined gelatin. No need
to deprive the poor dog. Besides, you'd have to render the chew bone & it might
take a while.

Well... you could speed up the process by running the chew over the
jointer or through the planer or maybe even mount it on the lathe and
make shavings out of it.
