This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Dale. I was just regurgitating what I have heard from quite a few = sources: cold hide glue is fine for gluing felt, etc. , but you must use = hot hide glue for bonding that may see stress.=20 I use cold hide glue quite a bit and it seems pretty strong to me. = Someone told me that David Hughes also glues his boards in with cold = hide. If it works well, and sure is an easy glue to use, I would have to = consider it for this use. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've glued in close to 50 = boards with the cold hide glue and never a failure. I always use fresh = bottles of it however. If you have used this glue then you would know = that it has a longer working time than hot hide but can dry just as hard = with time. I can easily glue a board in by myself before I have any = concerns about it tacking up too much. Usually we have the glue on and = the board in the rim and clamping up in 6 or 8 minutes fully clamped in = 10 min. One time I had to remove a couple of ribs from freshly glued up = panel that had sliipped when I put the go bars on. The ribs had dried = over the weekend and I had a miserable time getting them off. Cold hide = glue has proven itself a very tenious bonding agent especially after it = has some time to cure completely. Buy a bottle and bond some spruce to = maple and then try getting it apart after it has dried thoroughly.=20 It works for me and others I'm aware of. Maybe the information you = received was somebodys bais or prefrence. Personally I like using glues = that I can easily get off without tearing off too much wood with it. = Enough said.
