Great glue videos on Youtube.com
Ok, so I'm a big proponent of hide (or gelatine) glue, but I did get a chance to review these wonderful videos on glues. If you ever wanted to know ANYTHING about glues and which to use, watch these.

So hide glue smells like old cows, PVA smells like vinegar, CA smells like acetone. Does fish glue smell like sardines?
