No it isn't! Nice input though.

I use a potpourri pot (looks like a tiny crockpot) with just enough water to float a clean tuna can with my hot hide glue in it. You can set it up in a customer's home easily and have glue ready in a few minutes. I save my used glue in the can, let it dry, and reconstitute by adding a bit of water when I need to use it. (Throw it away if it gets moldy instead of drying properly.) I changed from Titebond to hot hide glue when I did a set of hammers for a Kimball grand and got a spectacular tone improvement. The little pot looks innocent, so the customer is not offended by or afraid of a messy glue pot. Another nice thing about the potpourri pot--you can put some real potpourri into it after finishing with the gluing and cover the smell!
