Ann:

    Hide glue is an organic glue used in making musical instruments.
    It's important to use an organic glue in granulation because it burns
    off (at least that's what I was told). I found that Titebond makes a
    hide glue and I can find it at Lowe's or most places that specialize
    in woodworking. Please note, that since it's organic, it will
    eventually spoil. My old glue starts to mold when I mix it with the
    flux/distilled water mixture. 

    Also, you might try granulation using powdered copper hydroxide. If
    you want more details on that type of granulation, please feel free
    to contact me offline. 

Good Luck!
