Welcome to Jan's Craft Kitchen

Waterproof or Glass Glue

Materials needed:

2 pks (1/2 oz.) unflavored gelatin

2 TBS. cold water

3 TBS. skim milk

Several drops of oil of cloves (optional)

Instructions:

1) In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and set aside to soften.

2) Heat milk to boiling point and pour into softened gelatin, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.

3) Add oil of cloves as preservative if glue is to be kept for more than a day.

Makes about 1/3 cup.

While glue is still warm, brush a thin layer onto the objects to be glued.

This is the best glue to use for projects in which glass must adhere to glass.

For gluing decorations on glass jars, it is best to use the glue in its liquid state.

For gluing marbles together or metal ornaments to metal cans, use the glue in its gelled state.

This glue is waterproof and can be used to mend china, to glue labels on

home-canned foods and jellies, or to glue wood to wood. Store in a screw-capped jar.

It will gel as it cools. Set jar in a pan of hot water to soften glue for reuse.
