Zellen Rabbit Skin Glue

• Strong Adhesion and Protection
  Rabbit Skin Glue sticks well and protects canvases and panels. Artists use it to shield canvas fibers and panels from damage caused by oil-based paints. Its traditional formula has made it a trusted choice for years.
• Simple to Make and Use
  Mix one part of glue granules with five parts of water, then leave it overnight to expand. Heat the mix gently in a Bain Marie or double boiler, avoiding boiling as it weakens the glue. Use the warm glue for better absorption into cotton or linen surfaces.
• Preparing the Canvas
  Stretch the canvas onto stretcher bars and brush it lightly with water to loosen and relax the fibers. Once dry, apply two coats of glue, allowing each to dry fully. Store any leftover glue in a fridge to make it last longer. When reheating, keep it thick like jelly, and avoid boiling as this harms its strength.
