It is already thick to a "no-run, no-drip" consistancy. I don't think it requires, or should be thickened before hanging hammers. Its initial set is fast. Unless the hammers are bored very loose to the shanks, you can move the Spurlock jig to the next section in just a few minutes. You can tell when the glue has set by testing a hammer.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both glues can do a good job for hanging hammers.
