and accomplish nothing. Contrary to common thought, Vinegar does not do a thing
to breaking down Hide glue! If you were using Glacial Acidic Acid, which is
really STRONG version of Vinegar, it would not do a darned thing. I've
experimented with it and found that to be so. As there is quite a lot of water
in vinegar, that is the one thing that will really attack Hide Glue. I've even
tried Papaya extract, which was touted as "killer" of Hide Glue. That
didn't work either!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

alcohol. The alcohol will "wick" into the wood and bring the water
with it, thereby softening the Hide Glue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
