Yes, I've heard that the commercial liquid 'hide' glue is not much good too. Apparently you can make real hide glue liquid at room temperature by means of various additives like vinegar, but somehow I expect the less you put into it, the better it works. Waterproofing could also likely be achieved by coating in beeswax...
