Waterproof Glue Recipe
2 Packets unflavoured gelatin -- (1/2 ounce)
2 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons skim milk
several drops oil of cloves (optional)

1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Set aside to soften.
2. Heat milk to boiling point and pour into softened gelatin. Stir 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

Store glue in a screw-capped jar. It will gel as it cools, but this will not affect its adhesiveness. Set jar in a pan of hot water to soften glue for reuse.

Denise, do you know if this works on all material, such as wood? And have you made it?

I haven't actually tried it, and the recipe didn't say what materials to use it on-- I'm guessing it would be the same as any waterproof glue.
