This is glue made from milk, vinegar and baking soda. It is stronger than elmers glue and is very inexpensive. It is my entry to the amazon.com and instructables science fair group.

Theophilus talks about this in "Divers Arts" he said that if you added quick lime to it you could glue boats together.  I haven't tried it yet but it looks right in your neighbor  hood, also if you title it making glue from spoiled milk you can recoupe the cost of milk, groceries throw out milk past it's expiration and sometimes you can get it for asking.  In a farm environment milk is the price of grass.

Once again Nice!

um what about the smell of aged moo glue? ew!!!
Aug 15, 2007. 10:28 AMjtobako says:
No smell : ) Well, unless you leave a large amount someplace where it can't dry out, but then the smell is mold, not sour milk.

At over $2 a gallon, milk glue is expensive especially when you are only using the solids : ) (If you figure 1/3 of the milk is solids-generous guess-, you are at the same price as bulk elmer's glue.)
