Animal Glue

• Cost: 5 sp
• Weight: 0.5 lbs.

This simple glue is created by extensively boiling animal skin, bones, hooves, horn, and tendons until they turn into a ocher syrup that cools when it hardens. Before you use animal glue, you must heat it until it liquefies. You normally apply it with a brush and hold the pieces together for a minute, at which point it is cooled and hardened. The glue is sufficient to coat 1 square foot of surface, or (because of waste and spills) up to 40 smaller applications of approximately 2 square inches each. Pulling apart a large glued surface (at least 1 square foot) requires a DC 19 Might check. Pulling apart a small glued surface (anything less than 1 square foot) requires a DC 15 Might check. Animal glue slowly dissolves in water, reducing the DC needed to break it by 1 per 10 minutes. It softens if heated, even with steam, reducing the Might skill DC needed to break it by 1 per minute.
