And hide glue is easier. Don't forget in your original letter, Ron, you asked for suggestions for glue for laminating bridges...wasn't that an open solicitation for opinions? > My next suggestion is that you don't assume > that you are the only guy on the planet who knows anything about hot hide > glue, and that anyone elses choice to use something else is the result of > ignorance. > I don't assume I am the only person on the planet who knows anything about hide glue. There are, however, a lot of people on the planet who don't use hide glue because of ignorance of how to use it properly...fighting with it and eventually giving up entirely or only using it for specific tasks because of the trouble and difficulty. It is one thing to know how to use hide glue for *any* task, then choose to use something else. > Interesting, in your last post, you *thought* that's why modern glues were > developed, and now, that *is* why modern glues were developed. > Silly semantics. And "Viennese piano" is the accepted and correct way to refer to a piano of a particular style, whether it is made in Vienna or not, whether modern reproduction or antique. Many antique "Viennese pianos" were not made in Vienna; just the same as not all "Viennese actions" were made in Vienna. And I didn't say plywood is made with Titebond, I said modern glues.
