Bookbinding or Leather Glue

1 packet (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoon boiling water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon glycerin


1. In a pan, add gelatin to boiling water. Stir until gelatin is
completely dissolved.


2. Add vinegar and glycerin. Stir until well mixed.
Makes about 1/3 cup. For larger projects, double the recipe.


How to use it: While the glue is still warm, apply a thin layer with
a brush. This waterproof glue is excellent for binding leather to
leather.


It also makes a good flexible glue for use on paper, or for gluing
cloth to cardboard for making notebook binders or scrapbooks. Store in a tightly capped plastic or glass jar, this glue will keep for several months. It will gel in the bottle after a few days. Warm bottle in hot water to reuse glue.
