Rabbit skin glue is a traditional adhesive made from the collagen found in rabbit hides. It's commonly used in art conservation, bookbinding, and in the preparation of surfaces for painting.
As an Adhesive it is used to bond surfaces in bookbinding and for attaching materials like canvas to wood panels.
Ground for Painting artists will sometimes use it as a component in gesso, a primer for preparing surfaces for painting, particularly in oil painting.
Rabbit skin glue can also be diluted with water to create a sizing mixture that helps to seal porous surfaces, making them suitable for painting.
In addition, some varnishes for paintings incorporate rabbit skin glue, contributing to the overall finish and durability.
Conservators use rabbit skin glue to reattach layers and fix tears in artworks and manuscripts due to its reversible nature when rehydrated. When using rabbit skin glue, it's important to prepare it properly by heating it in water, and to use it while it's warm, as it can become less effective as it cools.
