Adhesive & Glue Kit

Structure depends on more than just the physical join; it depends on the bond. Traditional adhesives were made from two primary sources: the animal and the tree.

Bison Hide Glue

By slow-simmering the scraps of bison hide and hooves, harvesters created a powerful, water-soluble glue used to bind Bow-strings and secure arrow points.

Pine Resin (Pitch)

Heat-softened pine resin, mixed with wood ash or charcoal, provided a waterproof adhesive for tools used in wet environments or for sealing Basketry.
