[CAUT] Hot Hide glue woes (??)

[Porritt, David]

I'll amen what Chris was saying. The only thing my glue pot does is take
up space on my shelf.  Titebond Trim and Molding glue for hammers, PVC-E
for key bushings and damper felt etc.  Before you say anything, PVC-E
comes off key bushings much more quickly than hide glue.  I know hide
glue is strong, doesn't creep etc. but we're not building the Brooklyn
Bridge here.  I'd get out the dusty glue pot if I were putting rims
together, but everything I do here doesn't require that kind of
strength.

Flame suit cleaned, pressed and buttoned up tight!

List, I don't know why you all use this sticky old stuff for hammers
anyway.
Tite-bond Molding Glue doesn't drip, makes a nice clear when dry collar,
doesn't fail, is easy to remove, and did I mention it doesn't stink. OH
and
you can get it from Pianotek too.
