A 18th Century European Craft

Old Brown Glue is a liquid hide glue formulated from just two eco-friendly ingredients: hydrolyzed collagen (which serves as the hide glue) and urea. This innovative, non-toxic, and organic glue is characterized by its self-bonding nature, making it user-friendly for craftsmen. With a 30-minute open time, it takes about 24 hours to fully dry, ensuring robust adhesion in tight-fitting joints while retaining flexibility once set.

Application Instructions

To use the glue effectively, submerge the bottle in warm water for several minutes until the contents become liquid. It can then be utilized like any conventional glue. The viscosity of Old Brown Glue is temperature-dependent, with an optimal application range between 120°F and 140°F.

Reversible Bond Feature

One of the most remarkable features of Old Brown Glue is its reversible bond. By applying moisture and heat to adhered surfaces, you can return the glue to a liquid state, allowing for easy repairs or adjustments.

Storage Guidelines

Each bottle is equipped with a "best before" label indicating a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacture date. While refrigeration can extend its usability, it is not a necessity.

About the Product

Old Brown Glue is crafted entirely from non-toxic and organic components, ensuring a safe option for both antique restoration and modern woodworking. With its superior strength in secure joints, it remains flexible even after setting.

Open and Set Times

The adhesion process begins with a moisture loss mechanism, taking about 30 minutes for the initial open time. The glue starts to set within an hour and achieves full curing within 24 to 48 hours. Its unique reversible property allows you to reheat the glue with hot water, facilitating easy repositioning and repair.

Self-Bonding Properties

Unlike many contemporary adhesives, Old Brown Glue can bond with itself. This means that during reassembly, there’s no need to completely clean out the original hide glue from joined parts. Simply applying Old Brown Glue can reactivate the original glue, allowing for a seamless cure.

Usage Tips

Using this glue does not require any specialized heating equipment. Simply place the bottle in warm water until the glue liquefies, after which you can apply it just like any other adhesive. While it performs best at temperatures between 120°F and 140°F, be cautious not to exceed 180°F.

In summary, Old Brown Glue is not only a versatile adhesive suitable for a range of applications but also preserves the traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations. Its effectiveness, coupled with its organic formulation, makes it an invaluable tool for artisans and hobbyists alike.
