re: For anyone doubting how strong Hot Hide glue is

Like Paul said, HHG is only a pain when you are done for the day. And all you need to do is pop it in the fridge.

PVA is pain all the time. This was a 40" long panel. I would have had to use a dozen clamps instead of a single one. Also you can see the squeeze out in the pic. It’s not a concern like PVA is. When the piece got the final scraping it pops right off and I don’t need to wipe it down with mineral spirits to show me all the spots I need to sand more to get the PVA out of.
