Cleaning Glue Pots

[Scott Jackson]

Joe,
What is your source for GOOD glue? Pearl seems to be the most readily available on this side of the Pacific (and seems to do the job). Another easily available is 'Rabbit-skin glue' (from art supply shops). It comes as a fine powder. Is this good for anything pianoish?
