Calin asked: "I think, and others seem to confirm this, that waht is called
here "bone
glue" is in fact hide glue. It comes in transparent brownish pellets
packaged in plastic bags.
Does your hide glue look the same?"

Calin,
NO! The stuff you are descrbing is properly called "Pearl Glue". I've tried
it and it's junk.
