Hello,
My recipe for making glue was heating milk and vinegar together in a pan. The milk curdled and I separated the curds. Next I mixed the curds with water (1/4 cup) and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. That was it. I found out that skim milk made the best glue... but really don't know why. Please help me.
