For some reason I was thinking that fish glue was purchased in dry granuales like hide glue.

I assume this is the glue from Lee Valley.

That's the one I've been using, Chuck. I buy mine from Madinter in Spain, just because I order other things from them occasionally and overseas shipping has become so expensive. Lee Valley has better prices, though.

http://www.madinter.com/b2c/index.php?page=pp_producto.php&md=0&ref=56K6000

(Question, totally OT: How do I change the displayed text in a URL link? E.g. how would I make the gibberish-looking link in my post into a coherent sentece or word, like in Chuck's link in the previous post?)

Hey Arnt,
Thanks for the reply.

To answer your question, an easy way is copy and paste the link to the web page you want folks to go to. Then click on the URL box at the top. Then type an = sign like this

(url=http://www.madinter.com)type some text here(/url)

except don't use bowlegs, use the box like font. Just hover you cursor over the URL box at the top and it will give you an example.

Did I just thoroghly confuse you? ......lol

You can get it directly from Norland, but you have to buy by the gallon.
