Another very good reason to find a hide glue substitute....

[Alan Barnard]

All dead now, I believe ...

In the languages of  most Native American tribes, the word "vegetarian"
means "man with no hunting skills."

Back to the topic. I don't use hide glue at all, but not for fear of my
health. I just think it's messy, smelly, and time consuming. There are
decent substitutes for every task, IMO. Now if I were in the rebuilding
business, doing keyset after keyset, for example, and was working on
something better than the Crappe de Jour I mostly see, then maybe I'd keep
a glue pot going.

Here's a time-saving tip: Put hot dogs in your glue pot to simmer; by
lunchtime they're nice and hot. This does not work with tofu, I'm told,
because the glue rejects the tofu and spits it out.

Twain was a vegetarian ( along with his pals Tesla and Edison ).
