HTML MessageAh, yes.  I bought 2 containers of Bolduc glue at the mid =
Atlantic regional conference.  I squeezed half of one container into =
another container to give to a friend of mine.  Now awhile later the top =
of the surface of the glue has hardened about a half inch thick so that =
I can't even stir it.  I tried to glue a hammer on a shank with the =
original and it looked great.  It has properties as advertised  (glass =
hard, heat resistant etc) that are impressive. =20

Now, I just today, I thinned with a little distilled water and heated in =
my glue pot until it could be stirred back to normal?  I'm wondering if =
it still will perform as advertised.  I'm no chemist, but I'll  try most =
anything twice,  Anyone know what's going on?

Yes, the subject of glue is a good one.  I remember a class given by Del =
many years ago about glue. He said  "The manufacturer said (we buy it by =
the 55 gallon and it has a shelf life of 30 days, but it's no problem =
since we use so much of it) Arghhhhhhh!!!!

    OK, I know I'll get flamed by some but I have a brand new flame suit =
so I'm safe. =20



    Where can I find some good glue for hammers?  I'm tired of using hot =
hide glue.  It's fussy!  If you use it straight it jells before you get =
the hammer in its final position.  If you use to much additive it is =
weak.  It gets moldy between uses.  I still get loose hammer heads even =
when doing it right.  As far as I can tell none of the current factories =
use hide glue for hammers and I don't find loose hammer heads on them.  =
I know Andre has some glue listed on his web site, but it's not =
available here. =20



    Suggestions?
