[CAUT] a simple question

[David Love]

Cold hide glue is fine for bushings or damper felt if you don't want to work
with a glue pot (which I don't) and I use it in those applications.  If you
want to use hide glue for hammers you need to use the glue pot as the
consistency needs to be thicker than cold hide provides.  Otherwise,
Titebond Trim Glue is just right for hammers.

I did see, in the hardware store, Titebond liquid hide glue the other day.  

Has anyone tried that? 


What's the point?  It lacks the quick set up time of hot hide, it runs the
way yellow glue does, and I seem to recall that it has some other negative
characteristics.  I've used hot hide for years, but molding glue works very
nicely.
