I just made a fresh batch of hot hide glue for someone that has never
seen or used hot hide glue.  I made it from glue I bought from Craig
Brougher.  It had very little odor compared to any other glue I have
used.  The new guy using the glue made no comments about a foul or
unpleasant smell and thought the glue was super to use.  I mixed it
fairly thick like waffle or pancake syrup, which made it set up fast.
