[pianotech] Hide Glue Question

[John Ross]

I guess I didn't explain fully.
I have been using hide glue for 30 plus years, and this is the first bad smelling batch I have ran into.
I kind of thought it was from a horse?
I was wondering why, it smelled bad.
I got it from Lee Valley, which is a reputable company.
Ed Foote, has explained bacteria got into it.
I have glued the bellows material in place with it, and just thought about the smell, after using it.

  It comes from a dead cow?

  What is wrong that it has this bad smell?
