Oh, and while the suggestions of anti-mold measures are quaint, I believe they're for a case where you intend to store prepared glue for more than a day or two in the fridge- which isn't a great idea anyway since hide glue will putrify. Everything I've read suggests it's best to only mix up what you'll use and make it fresh each time. I've stored small amounts in the fridge overnight and it works just fine when re-heated. Adding anything- especially crushed aspirin sounds to me like a good way to weaken the glue...
