Ready-to-use Hide Glue

[Richard Wagner]

Michel and List, 

Thanks.

I've been wondering about this recipe for a very long time.

The original "Tuners Supply" stuff, which they advertised as "Piano Makers
Glue," had a definite odor of Camphor.

Your recipe doesn't mention this.  

Does anyone know what purpose the Camphor played, how much was used,  maybe
even... what the original "Tuners Supply" formula was? 

Thanks for your help.
