Did you know: animal glue does not dry, it "closes". Let us explain...

There are three characteristics of animal glue (hide glue, cake glue) that should be considered when it comes to open time, and tack. We sat down with our Technical Sales Manager, Jeff Palmiter, to learn more about these glue terms.
