 I have used Franklin's bottled hide glue on occasion over the years,
similar to the way Will Truitt described and never had a problem with it. I
do check for the manufacture date on the bottle and dutifully discard it
after the one year mark.

My primary uses ar in customer homes or for a single job, one bushing,
damper, etc. in the shop or customer home. It's much faster than cooking up
a batch of glue for that one one loose key bushing, damper that needs
regluing or other odd item that pops up.
