Product:
Lactic casein appears as a straw-colored powder, slightly soluble in water. It is instead soluble in basic reaction salts or in alkalis, with which ammonium caseinate and calcium caseinate are obtained, a very tenacious glue with a strong adhesive power which is irreversible after a short time and resistant to water. In violin making it is used for the preparation of glue (see details below) or as a protein insulator ground, both for the inside and outside. The dilution ratio in the latter case is generally around 1:20 and a concentration by weight around 5% of dry substance, but there are many usable ratios and each violin maker experiments until he finds the one he prefers.
