Lemma
fish glue
It is an animal glue obtained from the swim bladders of some fish, the most prized being sturgeon: soluble in hot water, strong, elastic and contains little colour. In painting, fish glue is used in the preparation and as mordant for thin tempera. Cennino Cennini (end of the 14th Century) speaks of it as "perfect to glue lutes and other gentile things of paper, wood or bone."
