How to get natural glue from milk?
It is possible to make a natural glue from milk by using a technique called casein glue. Casein is a protein found in milk that can be separated from the milk through a chemical process.
Here are the steps to make natural glue from milk using casein:
Heat milk: Heat 1 cup of milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Add an acid: Add 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar or lemon juice to the milk and stir.
Separate the curds: Continue heating and stirring until the milk curdles and separates into curds (solid) and whey (liquid).
Strain and rinse: Pour the curds through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to separate them from the whey. Rinse the curds with water to remove any remaining acid.
Dry the curds: Spread the curds out on a flat surface and let them dry completely. You can speed up the drying process by placing them in a warm, dry area.
Grind the curds: Once the curds are dry, grind them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.
Make the glue: To make the glue, mix the casein powder with a small amount of water to form a paste. You can adjust the consistency of the paste by adding more or less water.
Your natural glue from milk is now ready to use! This type of glue can be used for paper crafts, woodworking, and other applications. It is a non-toxic and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic glues.
