Thanks again to everyone for the good info on molding glue.  On to the next set of hammers!

It will need thickening for hammer hanging.   Titebond Molding and Trim Wood Glue is a white glue. 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.   Both glues can do a good job for hanging hammers. Most folks who try the Molding and Trim Glue like it because it doesn't run or drip very much, and makes a neat job easier to attain.   Ed Sutton No virus found in this incoming message.
