I was joking. Sorry. The bacteria explanation is the right one.

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.
