re: Glue

I have a collection of over 20 different types of glues for wood use, and over 20 for other materials. I also mix and /or dilute some glues depending on the grains. I have used hide glue only a few times but I want to start using hot hide for the ability to separate the pieces when required. I have experimented and tested many different types and strengths over the years and I use various methods depending on humidity of the wood, ambient humidity and temperature, the oil content and openness of the grain, and mixing different types of wood. I keep a small journal with every job entered, the front of the book has glue up details, the back contains stain and finish details. This comes in handy if you ever have to make a repair years later. I always guarantee every piece I make for life no matter what. I will buy back any piece for the original price no quibble. I have bought back only 3 so far and resold the items for more than original, and the customers reordered another item as well.
