What is "glair"?
Glair is a natural glue made from egg white that is used in art and craft. It is often mixed with pigments to create a glossy finish on artworks or to join materials together. Glair dries to a clear, hard finish and was historically used in painting and bookbinding for its smooth, durable qualities.
