Hi Ann

    Hide glue is exactly that, it is the boiled down hide and sinew from
    animals, specifically horse and cow. Some prefer horse for
    woodworking projects, but I have never noticed a difference between
    it and cow. The stuff is most definitely not white Elmers. 

    I would look at wood working shops for the stuff or online. It will
    come as flakes or pellets and needs be heated in a pot with water to
    make it fluid again. 

    If it needs to be pure, I don't think I would get a ready mixed
    bottle they add stuff to it which may affect your process. 

Terry
