Note that the formula William Samson gives is for acid casein while the formula given by the USDA monograph is for alkaline casein. Alkaline casein is preferred in some uses such as paper coating where acid can contribute to discoloration and deterioration.

        Hi,
        An idle question here - I saw on TV how to make casein glue -
     using
        skimmed milk, bicarb and vinegar.  Apparently it's been around
     since
        ancient Egyptian
        times. http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_8474158_make-casein-glue.html
        Do you know of any uses it might have had in instrument making,
     or any
        evidence that it was used at all?
