How about, the same way Antonio Stradivari got his violins to hold together?

Boiled horse?

Reminds me of that verrrry old tricky (verbal) question: How do you spell 'JOKE'? How do you spell 'POKE'? How do you spell the white of an egg? Many if not most people immediately say 'YOLK'! and then find that they screwed up when they're told it's spelled 'albumen'.

Some vandals threw raw eggs at the wall of a neighbor's house on Halloween, and after it dried it was very difficult to get off. Someone once told me that they used to use it as the binder in paint.

I'm wondering how egg white can dry when it's covered up with aluminum foil. Maybe it doesn't need to.

selection.

The good electrostatic igniters like like used for lighting gas flames are operated by a lever mechanism and can pack quite a punch, the cheap ones in disposable lighters work with a sort of spring-loaded pile-driver and often the plastic parts of the mechanism fail. and the shock of the hammer hitting the piezo element isn't real good for that part either.

barbecue igniters are much more powerful than the disposable lighter ones too

I've read that the secret to his violin making was in the shellac he made. But I don't know about the glue. Horsehide glue, I would imagine.

A ham I once knew put up cupboards in his garage with wood glue, and years later (when he moved out) when he took them down, in some places the wood separated not on the glue line, but pulled out chunks of splinters. So the bond can be very strong if the joint is thin.

Yeah, here's a URL that verifies that it's hide glue.

Everyone knows, Rich, that in France and thereabouts, they don't make tape out of ducks, they _eat_ ducks. ;-)

I'm not sure that Leyden in the Netherlands is 'France and thereabouts', but considering the amount of water around there, duck-eating was probably quite widely practised.

Unless the ducks ducked into the ducts.

It's pretty popular in China (and Chinatowns worldwide) as well. Those beautiful BBQ ducks hanging in the window along with BBQ pork, cuttlefish and chickens. Pretty good in congee. And, of course, most famous Beijing Duck.

Varnish or other paints seemed to be a popular adhesive in early electrical work.

Artistsmade their own paints using egg whites...

Flour paste would do >>

"Foil" back then was a lot thicker and held its form much better. It was likely lead foil as well. So at some point, I'm sure it was coated onto the sides of the inside of the jar.

yeah, on everything but the spelling of metre litre etc... :)

Weren't the Quackers just a bunch of Huguenots from France? ;-P

NIST,

Well, you go to Mexico, and they spell it litros, etc. Oh, well..
