Hi Kieth,
                 We re heat the hide glue quite often when using it for 
felt and leather applications.   But always, use freshly mixed glue, for 
all wood to wood applications.
Shear strength is not important with felt, we are using it for easy of 
removal and low wicking properties.  So no big deal to re heat.
Wood to wood, we are looking for it's strength, and how it looks when 
finish is applied to it, as in veneer repairs.  Every thing I have read, as 
stated fresh is stronger.
Just my 2 bits worth
Roger
