Someone else asked, "what is dextrine?". In doing a web search, I have
found references to dextrine being a barley-based substance that is used
in beermaking, but more references to it being a water-based glue made
from vegetable starches. It seems to have an important role in taxidermy.
Thanks for the tip, Nze.
