If you have an emergency, and need to secure items together, but you're out of glue, don't have a cow. Milk one.
Step 1
Pour an 8 oz cup of milk into a pan.
Step 2
Heat this on a stove at 120°C (250°F). Let it warm, but not boil.
Step 3
Add a tablespoon of vinegar, and stir the mixture. Continue stirring even when solid clumps of material form on the surface.
Step 4
Place the strainer over the jar (preferably resting on it), and pour the mixture through the strainer.
Step 5
Use the spoon to press the clumps through the strainer, and release the liquid.
Step 6
Remove the material from the strainer, and place it back in the pan on the stove.
Step 7
Add 100 ml (½ cup) water and a tablespoon of baking soda to the liquid.
Step 8
A casein material will begin to bubble. When this stops, use the leftover liquid as glue.
Warnings
- Wait several hours before using any item secured with this glue.
- This can be very messy; make sure you take care, and tidy up the area when you've finished, or preferably as you're going along!
