I have not tried this yet. Research and plans are running well ahead of attempted use. The reference I was making was from the EB 1911:

Quote:Numerous recipes for water-proof glues have been published; glue, having been swollen by soaking in water, dissolved in four-fifths its weight of linseed oil, furnishes a good water-proof adhesive; linseed oil varnish and litharge, added to a glue solution, is also used; resin added to a hot glue solution in water, and afterwards diluted with turpentine, is another recipe; the best glue is said to be obtained by dissolving one part of glue in'one and a half parts of water, and then adding one-fiftieth part of potassium bichromate. Alcoholic solutions of various gums, and also tannic acid, confer the same property on glue solutions.

I have just recently ordered the book:
"Glue, Gelatine and their Allied Products" by Thomas Lambert, London, 1905)

Perhaps that will have more details.
