Joe, <<Once hide glue has been mixed with water, it is good for no more than 72 hours. After that, THROW IT OUT! The stuff is cheap and using used glue like that will only foster failures! I've done a lot of research into "hide glues". If you'd like to know the specifics, you know where I am.>> I've used the same batch of hot hide glue several times over the course of several months for different bushing jobs, and have noticed no lessening of holding power. Is what you wrote only for joints that are critical, and not applicable for bushing work? John Formsma Blue Mountain, MS mailto:jformsma@dixie-net.com
