If you're having issues with glue adhesion, your first thought may be to add more glue.  When it comes to glue, more isn't always better. 

Maybe you were working on a project that had more difficult substrates? Or maybe you were starting to run out of glue? No matter what the reason for blending protein glues on-site, there are some drawbacks that you should keep in mind before considering this. 

Our on-site research and development lab, located in Monroe, North Carolina, is dedicated to designing innovative and custom glue products. 

Often times, prospects and customers reach out to us for help with formulating a glue for a difficult or custom application. For projects like this, our technical team will test sample substrates in our facility. 

What happens with the substrates once they arrive in our lab? 

Gelatin is an extremely important part of the manufacturing process at LD Davis. Since the 1970's, we have replaced the primary ingredient in our animal glues, extracted collagen from hides of bovine and porcine, with recycled pharmaceutical and nutritional gelatin in the form of soft gel netting.
