also bLadder has this phenomena, when you hit some bladder string soak in water, when it dry they can glued together, when we make glue , some glue in these fiber midst at first time solution(smelt)?
hi Jiao, every time animal parts like sinew or hide are in contact with water or another humidity, they start to dissolve collagen as the main substance of every hide-glue. Soak a few sinew-fibres with water, lay them down on your wooden workbench and the next morning it is glued a bit to the bench. But for to gain the real glueing-power you need to dissolve the collagen with heat too.
