Glues/Richard

A good trick I use with hot glue is to use a heat gun from time to time to
keep the shanks a tad hot.

A warm metal metal plate at hand allows the head to be warm also, then
gluing time is almost twice.

I particularly like the fact that once the head is in its position this is
the final one, so minute adjustments are possible and accurate.

I like white glue with expanding abilities if there is a problem with the
bore, but the glue keep lines of force that tend to turn the head in reverse
direction than when glued.

To keep a better glue, I was told to avoid any additional water in the glue,
so I keep the pot covered - and make a thin glue to begin with.
If water is to be added it may imperatively be warm.
A drop of vinegar is supposed to be added if the glue is too thick, I did
not find this to be very efficient.

Distilled water may be better to keep the batch of glue longer, usual water
is more or less "hard" and thicken the glue more.

I have find good glue but have tried many brands before. The one I get is
from Dick in Germany.
I order nerves and bone, and I mix the 2.
Euro cents ...

Best Regards.

  Joe,

  In all these years I've been using hide glue, I believe this is the first
  time I've ever known of anyone to say that about the distilled water. I'm
  also assuming you're referring to the "original" mixing as well as the
  "spritzing"? :-) Thanks.

  Avery


    A trick I use, with my two SMALL glue pots, is a spray bottle, that I
use to
    "spritz" the glue. This is done about every two or three hammers and can
be
    done quickly without the mess of my usual Distilled water bottles, (read
    plastic glue application bottles obtained from local hardware stores.)
One
    thing I can't stress enough.....USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY! Using tap
water is
    too much of a variable that adds chemicals and contaminates that alter
the
    glue's structure.
