    If you have a joint where the glue might be visible, the high clarity is more transparent.

    Some say it might be a bit more tacky or viscous than regular in the same gram strength (thus less open time), but I haven’t observed that.

    I’ve got a bag of both and I couldn’t tell a difference.

  • I’m loving the stuff I’ve been getting from Nothern Nikawa. I sent 3 varieties to Josh Rippingale down in AUS and he’s very impressed. He uses hide glue almost daily. I’ve been using the 200 gram high clarity. It seems much purer than the stuff from Miligan & Higgins that I’ve used for 20 years….
