Ecological glue for traditional furniture: Optimization of the handicraft for making fish glue
Yaqin Qian, Xiangdong Dai

TL;DR
This paper optimizes the traditional fish glue-making process for furniture, making it faster, more efficient, and easier to scale.
Contribution
The study introduces a new, optimized, and repeatable technique for making fish glue with improved yield and reduced labor.
Findings
The new technique reduces soaking time by 50% and eliminates manual smashing.
The new method increases glue yield by 5.42%.
Mechanical processing allows for controllable time and temperature, improving repeatability and scalability.
Abstract
Through a comprehensive review of published literature on fish glue (FG), the ecological glue for traditional furniture, the traditional handicraft for making FG was found to include six main processes: soaking, steaming, manual smashing, decoction, filtration, and airing. The handicraft that makes FG is manual and is not only time-consuming and laborious but does not have clearly documented standard processes and is thus less repeatable. Considering this, experiments to optimize a new technique for making FG were designed. Six basic technological processes (cutting and drying, crushing, soaking, decoction, filtration, and airing) were investigated to optimize the new glue production technique. The technological processes of the new technique were compared with those of the traditional handicraft method. The results indicated that preparing FG following the optimal processes of the new…
