Hot (hide) glue, etc.

[Phil Frankenberg]

Partially dried titebond works well for hanging hammers. I have a bottle
that I've left the lid off for a few months. Thick cream consistancy is what
you want. HOWEVER, hot hide glue is IMHO by far the best for hammers.
Titebond straight from the bottle is fine for dampers.
