Here is another alternative... glue from hide:
I watch a lot of survival videos, mainly primitive techniques. I have never come across any methods to make glue from bones. Today I have been searching, but can't find anything. Whenever I think I may have found some information of making glue from bones, it just refers to collecting any connective tissues or sinew that might be on the bones to make glue from. You can get a very limited amount of collagen as a binding agent from bones after boiling for many, many hours... in industry, very complex methods and chemistry are used to extract this since boiling is not very effective.
EDIT: It turns out that the term "bone glue" does not even involve the bones. It is called this because the animal scraps were mainly bones, but the glue itself is traditionally made from any hide or connective tissues in the scraps.
