I bought 2 containers of Bolduc glue at the mid = Atlantic regional conference. I squeezed half of one container into = another container to give to a friend of mine. Now awhile later the top = of the surface of the glue has hardened about a half inch thick so that = I can't even stir it. I tried to glue a hammer on a shank with the = original and it looked great. It has properties as advertised (glass = hard, heat resistant etc) that are impressive. =20 Now, I just today, I thinned with a little distilled water and heated in = my glue pot until it could be stirred back to normal? I'm wondering if = it still will perform as advertised. I'm no chemist, but I'll try most = anything twice, Anyone know what's going on? Yes, the subject of glue is a good one. I remember a class given by Del = many years ago about glue. He said "The manufacturer said (we buy it by = the 55 gallon and it has a shelf life of 30 days, but it's no problem = since we use so much of it) Arghhhhhhh!!!!

I'm tired of using hot = hide glue. It's fussy! If you use it straight it jells before you get = the hammer in its final position. If you use to much additive it is = weak.
