It is in my opinion a much tougher glue than the average yellow wood glues like tightbond. I first used for gluing bridge caps for its non- clog the drillbit benifit. I've since found it to be almost non- thermo plastic, which is good in certain uses. O.K. add enough heat and every thing is but I mean if you put something together with this glue be sure you don't have to take it apart. I recently glued a soundboard in to the rim and the next day the glue was hard as glass and the board boomed nicely. With my usual cold hide glue apllication I usually don't get a good solid boom for 5 to seven days. However being a believer in using the right glue for a given application I would feel sorry for any one who has remove this glue from an inner rim (rasten) without tearing up the glue joint. It's just very tough stuff. So be warned. I don't know if I'll do that again. Rib joints and board work would be another place that would be fine. I mean you don't want the ribs to come off.
