Sugar Glue
Ingredients
Directions
Dissolve the sugar in water over low heat.
If using gelatine, substitute it for glue and treat the mixture the same way.
Pour the mixture into molds or a pan.
Cut into squares before it hardens.
To use, soften the edge of a piece in your mouth and apply to the surfaces to be glued together.
