Granulated rabbit-skin glue is a lightly coloured, elastic glutine glue made from rabbit skin whose adhesive strength is very high, It can also be used as a primer coat on elastic painting surfaces as well as on wooden ones. Rabbit-skin glue is a natural product that has been around for over 4,000 years and which, when properly stored (dry, cool) will maintain its effectiveness for practically an unlimited amount of time.

When preparing it for a typical gluing job, the granulate should be stirred into cold water (maximum: room temperature) in a ratio of 1:4. After allowing it to soak for 2 to 6 hours, the resulting mixture should then be stirred again in a water bath at a temperature of 50°C (maximum 60°C – definitely do not allow the water to boil because the glue will lose its bonding strength). At this temperature the beads will dissolve into a solution. The glue should be warm when being used because if the temperature of the admix falls below 50°C, the solution will begin to form a gel.
