Just wandering, what did our fore fathers use as glue without pva and pritt stick?
I am looking for an eco friendly, possibly home made alternative to glue as I do lots of crafting with my children andj I hate thinking about all that pva goind down the sink when we wash up...
hey Ratter15 i valued your input on the coffin idea by the way, i had overloocked the idea of weight, i mean i knew it would be heavy, but i hadn't thought about the fact that in 20 years i may weight 20 stone.
do you solely do metal art? i do odds and ends when i get a chance, its an amazing material.
Just mix it until the consistency is right and then I think you need to leave it 30 mins, just experiment a bit.
Boink, Hiya, yes I work with metal only, I expect you have seen my website, I wont post it on here, people will think I'm advertising as Ive posted it on here before. contact me on metalartist.co.uk if want the address or add me to MSN Messenger
1/2 cup flour
3 cups boiling water
3/4 cup cold water
Slowly pour cold water into flour and stir to make a paste. Pour paste into the boiling water, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes or until the paste is thick and smooth.
I remember a thing called Gum Arabic. It was a brown block that you put in boiling water. I wonder what that was made of ?
How do dead horses become known as fish glue do you think ?
