Rabbit Skin Glue


Rabbit skin glue is traditionally used as a type of sizing that prepares canvas and wood panels for gesso paint. It acts as a sealer on porous fabric, creating a protective barrier between canvas and gesso. This glue helps gesso adhere to canvas. It can also be used as a strong adhesive in bookmaking techniques.


Apply it in thin layers — rabbit skin glue can crack when applied too thick. It can also cause canvas to shrink and expand in humidity.
