Leslie and List: I keep seeing people talk about the strong odor of hide glue. I wonder if you're using good quality glue. The blond colored glue indicates less fat content which is the source of the odor (darker brown is not good glue). I get mine from Pianotek. It's very lite in color and it doesn't smell strong. Maybe it's because I'm Cajun and we eat anything (we eat anthrax, too), but the smell of THIS glue doesn't bother me. Very short people who often have to stand in crowded elevators usually use the glue with a high fat content. Also look at the archives, they just recently discussed additives like camphor, etc., to aid in the smell. Give hide glue a chance! Good luck.
