More recipes and mixtures for making glue

In addition to the previous advice, there are a number of flour or vinegar-based mixtures with which you can create a natural and resistant glue. Once the product is prepared at home, it has different uses depending on the ingredients chosen.

• Prepare a mixture of white vinegar and skim milk to make a strong glue

For an effective and efficient glue it is possible to mix very accessible and economical products. You will need:

• 125 ml skimmed milk
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 little water

Mix milk and vinegar in a container and then let the mixture sit for 2 minutes. You then get sour milk, which is in the form of white lumps, and milk in liquid form. You can use a sieve or absorbent paper to separate the two liquids. A fork can be useful to squeeze the curds and remove the liquid. Pour the sour milk into a container and then add the baking soda and 2 teaspoons of water. This way you get a resistant adhesive.   Also called casein glue, it can be used for laying some coverings such as wooden floors.
