Discover Old Brown Glue Self-Bonding Liquid Hide Glue

Old Brown Glue blends a traditional hide glue with two non-toxic ingredients to deliver reliable joints that stay flexible as they cure. This makes it a versatile option for antique restoration, veneer work and lamination, instrument making, and everyday woodworking where precise alignment matters. The formula is designed to work with itself, so reassembly can be smoother when reactivating existing hide glue is helpful. Expect a smooth, manageable liquid that you can heat into a workable viscosity and use across a range of projects.

Key Benefits

  • Liquid Hide Glue: made from hydrolyzed collagen and urea; strong in tight joints and remains flexible after setting.
  • Open Time and Cure: approximately 30 minutes to reposition; full dryness typically in 24–48 hours as moisture dissipates; the bond is reversible with heat or hot water.
  • Self-Bonding: bonds to itself, simplifying reassembly when old glue is present and reactivation is desired.
  • Easy to Use: no hot pot required; warm the bottle to about 120–140°F to liquefy, then apply; avoid exceeding 180°F for best results.
  • Shelf Life: each bottle carries a best-before date with a 24-month shelf life from manufacture; refrigeration can extend quality if desired, though it isn’t required.

How to Use

Stand the bottle in warm water to liquefy the adhesive, then apply to joint surfaces and bring pieces together. Maintain the recommended temperature for best viscosity, and clamp as needed during the open time.

Ideal Uses

  • Antique restoration and veneer work where reversibility matters
  • Lamination and instrument making where thin joints require careful alignment
  • Modern woodworking projects that may benefit from a bond that can be reactivated
  • Reassembly tasks where existing hide glue can be revived for a seamless joint

Storage Reminder

Store in a cool, dry place and note the best-before date. While refrigeration can extend quality, it is not required for use.
