You've already got it in a plastic > applicator bottle....talk about "hot" glue!!! > It's not so stupid...but I've been scared to try it since hearing a while back about the guy who exploded his shop with a pail of hide glue in an industrial microwave. Actually I've always wondered if the stuff would take microwaving. I think you would need to stir or shake frequently to avoid the deterioration due to hot spots developing. On the other hand I dont find floating the bottle in water in my crockpot to be any trouble at all. You can keep putting it in and out as you need it. It only takes ten minutes to heat it up if the water is sitting there...my Rival crockpot keeps the water at just the right temp. all day (or night).
