Instructions
-
Prepare Gelatin: Begin by sprinkling 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Set it aside to allow the gelatin to soften.
-
Heat Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat 3 tablespoons of skim milk until it reaches the boiling point. Be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent it from boiling over.
-
Combine Gelatin and Milk: Once the milk is boiling, pour it into the softened gelatin mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Add Preservative (Optional): If you plan to store the glue for more than a day, add a few drops of clove oil as a preservative. This will help prolong the shelf life of your glue.
-
Storage: Transfer the glue to a screw-capped jar or airtight container for storage. Allow it to cool, and it will gel as it sets. Don’t worry if it becomes too thickโthis will not affect its adhesiveness.
-
Reuse: To soften the glue for reuse, simply place the jar in a pan of hot water. This will help return the glue to a more usable consistency.
