Dear Bill,
Many years ago, before I knew better, I made my first instrument with
a propriety wood glue 'Cascamite' which I thought at the time was a
cassein type adhesive (the similarity in the name). And it was
certainly strong, gap filling (benefit for a novice!) and took plenty
of time to go off (a mixed blessing). But on reading the label shortly
after I saw it was made using a urea based compound - which I took to
mean piss rather than diary products........
I seem to recall some make use of it for gluing parchment for roses
etc. I think FoMRHI archives might have something.
regards
Martyn

Hi,
An idle question here - I saw on TV how to make casein glue - using
skimmed milk, bicarb and vinegar. Apparently it's been around since
ancient Egyptian
times. [1]http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_8474158_make-casein-glue.html
Do you know of any uses it might have had in instrument making, or
any
evidence that it was used at all?
Bill
