animal glue
Collagen-based bonding agent
Animal glue is an adhesive made by boiling animal hides, bones, or connective tissue to extract collagen.
It was the standard strong glue for woodworking and bookbinding before synthetic alternatives emerged.
The antique chair was assembled with animal glue.
Hide glue, a refined form, remains valued by luthiers and restorers because joints can be softened and reassembled with heat and moisture.
