The reason I never use it is from my early training in the business, specifically Reblitz, 2nd Edition, page 81 "...because it is too hard to remove by scraping and sanding only turns it gummy and sticky, ruining = the sandpaper ... never use white glue for anything that might have to be = broken apart and reglued again in the future."=20 =20 On the other hand, yellow glue isn't much better in that category. Yet people are routinely using it, especially in the field, for key felts, bridle straps, key slip shims, hammer rail props, etc. To which I say: "Hmmmmmmmm......" =20 So I've become a fan of PVC-E. Not for wood repairs (yellow) but for any felt and cloth gluing.
