[CAUT] a simple question

[Tim Coates]

Paul,

I learned from others on this list about using Titebond Trim and  
Molding glue for installing hammers.   I haven't used a glue like  
yellow titebond for 25 years to install hammers.  It takes too long  
for the very reasons you are asking  about and makes it very  
difficult to remove the hammers if need be.   I had used hide glue  
for years, but then Dave Porritt mentioned the Trim and Molding glue  
and I haven't looked back.

In my climate it doesn't breakdown in cold, dry winter months.  The  
joint is easily broken with heat if need be.  The joint sets up very  
quickly so there are none of the issues you are asking about.
