With a glue pot designed for working with hide glue, heat 
control is a matter of keeping the pot plugged in. If it 
strings on you, you have it way too thick. Neither is the 
fault of the glue.

Which is why I apply usably thin glue to the wood instead of 
the cloth.

We do whatever works for us, and as long as performance, 
longevity, and future service aren't compromised, it's the 
right way.
