Mark, Fish glue can indeed be used as you suggested. It works cold about the same as hot hide glue. However, it does not have the same tenacious hold that hide glue has, particularly in very humid conditions. The Aeolian Co. used fish glue when covering many of it's small pneumatics in players. It was also used for this in Duo-Art reproducers. It has an oddly sweet smell for a fish product! ;-) Debbie Legg
