Thanks a lot. This solves the mistery of why there are so few sellers of hide glue in Europe.
If one looks for “technical gelatine”, instead, he finds many resellers. It’s used in art (gilding, canvas, frescoes, tempera…), and even in photography as a reagent. Usually the products called “technical gelatine” have high Bloom strength not suitably for harpsichord making, for example 380, 500 and so on. But there are many, so I guess it should be easy to find something around 200 Bloom grams. I’ve found even a couple of technical gelatines of 120-140 Bloom, they are in pearls and seem bone glue.
However bone glue is plenty strong, so maybe I am splitting the hair.
Re: odor, I happen to actually like bone glue’s odor, but my wife and my two daughters vehemently disagree. I read a lot of people dislike that odor as well. However, hide glue has a much sweeter scent than bone.
