A strong, liquid Adhesive consisting primarily of Gelatin and other Protein residues of Collagen, Keratin, or Elastin.

The water soluble glue occurs in a wide variety of forms and colors ranging from transparent to opaque and white to brown. Calfskin glue is a high quality Hide glue. Hide glues are used in the manufacture of furniture, abrasive papers, gummed paper, and matches.
