Hide glue

[John Dewey]

I agree with Mr Firmin and raise him several levels in favor of this book.
Where I have experienced with what Craig Brougher is talking about I find it
to be accurate. Every rebuilder should have this book or borrow it and at
least read the appendices. There is a lot of good information and it makes
you think about why and what you are doing.
