You'd think I would recognize a joke by now. :-)

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

  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?
