Hi Ann,

    Hide glue is just what it says - glue made by boiling down cow hides
    - the same idea as fish glue and rabbit skin glue. For your purposes
    you just need something that will stick the granules in place until
    the joint starts to form and then burn away without leaving much
    residue. One of the easiest things to use is probably what the
    ancients used for granulation - honey (the clear type). 

Best Wishes
Ian
