List, Before I came to piano-land, I used lots of different woodworking glues. Hot hide glue was not something I had much need for. However, since working on pianos, I've come to appreciate and enjoy working with the stuff. A couple of months ago Jude Revely put me on to a soul out there who seems to live for hide glue. He really knows its properties, produces high grade product in many different consistencies, and has the know-how to steer you towards an appropriate grade to fit your requirements. My experience of the stuff previous to using his glue was a rather stringy, snotty affair; using glue of ungraded consistency and who knows what provenance. So I tried his #251 grade. What a pleasure to use. No strings or goobers, melts quickly and evenly, and achieves the appropriate consistency through proper grade selection rather than adding or evaporating water. I thought some might be interested in his contact info.
