Jean,

Even though I have never tried it, I guess you could. You might have to experiment with the ratio for the consistency beacuse you do want too diluted mixture of RSG. The bonding might be enough.

Rabbit Skin Glue from what I know and used is to size canvases, boards, panels or any surface where oil paints are used. This is to prevent rotting of the surface due to the chemical change in oils. As time passes, it becomes acidic and can eat up the surface or more commonly the cotton/ linen fibers in canvases.

RSG is also mixed with chalk ground, pigments, oil to make classic gesso.
