I know that I will be indicted by some as a heathen for this question but, frankly, who cares? I do a lot of player work, and for years have wondered if there is a glue that has the properties of hide glue ( softens when heated, perhaps water soluble, etc..) but ISN'T. I do not particularly enjoy breathing the reek of animal sinews steaming away under my nose ( somewhat toxic) all day, but do not wish to use an irreversible glue on a stack, either. The water soluble aspect makes removal of residues easy, but I would even consider non - aqueous (such as glue gun) if there was one that set up slowly enough to get the pneumatics pressed firmly into place before it gets too tight to locate them. And this may be a benefit in regions ( like mine ) where humidity swings tend to loosen hide glue, anyway.As long as the pneumatics could be removed in the future. I'm interested. Anyone?
