Compression ridges and hide glue.

[gordon stelter]

I was wondering today if glue-line creep could be
considered a significant factor in the ( alleged )
self-destruction of compression-crowned boards? After
all, hide glue becomes fairly gelatinous in all but
very low humidity, so this, combined with the glue
line stress in CC boards could lead to premature
failure, and increased compression-ridging.
     But this may be much less of a  problem with
modern glue types.
    Right?
