glue
« on: June 12, 2008, 08:09:38 PM »
how can I make waterproof glue out of animal fat? removing the water from it makes it hard like wax, but what else can be done to it?
Thanks

the superglues today are cyanoacrylate polymers iirc.. so they wouldn't be able to be formed from fat.

It does not have to be super glue. Just water resistant. Saturated fat when its water is removed is quite hard already. What kind of curing can be done to crosslink it a bit more?
