Maybe my little story is no reflection of the depths of despair that Kurtz must have felt, reaching deeper into the Heart of Darkness, but still...

I just bought a new batch of Hide Glue from Lee Valley.   I set about adding some distilled water to my granules when right away I can tell something is amiss. There are bubbles rolling about and the concoction is starting to turn a vile, if not worrisome, green.

   After a while all the water is absorbed and I decide to heat it up. As it's melting, the most fetid stench is starting to permeate my whole shop. I will try not to nauseate you, gentle readers, with an explicit account of what abominable apparitions I witnessed in my hotpot; suffice it to say that the monster from the black lagoon would of been proud...

Today when I mustered enough courage to open my glue cotainer, through the wafting fumes, I swear I saw it wink at me!

Sounds like you got either the fish glue, or the ectoplasm glue. I'm betting on the latter.

Alain, it was a great day until now. Excuse me while I go puke! I've had it grow hair after a couple months in the fridge, but yours sounds like the glue was bacteria-laden with something funky!

[QUOTE]gentle readers,[/QUOTE]

Thank goodness! This story wasn't meant for me!

What does it taste like?
Maybe it's not bad, just "extra sharp" like cheeeeese!

Ladies and gentlemen,
The monster,
Which the peasants in this area call frunobulax
(apparently a very large poodle dog)
Has just been seen approaching the power plant
Bullets cant stop it
Rockets cant stop it
We may have to use nuclear force!

Got a great big slimey thing
Got a great big heavy thing
Got a great big poodle thing
Got a great big hairy thing

Cheers
