Phil was the first to mention glue, but it's not hide. It's, believe it or not, Titebond II. This from the web site: **************************************************** Most of our yellow and white glues, including Titebond Original and Titebond II, remain usable beyond two years. Should Titebond Original become thick and stringy, or Titebond II turns into an orange colored gel, these changes signify that the glue is no longer usable. The minimum shelf life of Titebond III is stated as one year, when stored appropriately at room temperature. Titebond III is expected to last beyond its stated shelf life. If thickened, shake vigorously by firmly tapping bottle on a hard surface until product is restored to original form. *************************************************** I bought a bottle of Titebond II maybe three years ago to try it. It seemed to me to not dry as hard as original Titebond though it is near impossible to get off of clamps after it dries, and I really didn't like the yellow dye stains on my hands from the stuff, so the remains of the bottle went on the shelf in the back in case I found a use later. This show and tell is as close as I came to finding a use, after I discovered it back there today. So now I've rinsed out the bottle for use with good ol' regular Titebond, and I've learned another useless thing or two. Here's what a couple of hours in the 104° Kansas sun did for it this afternoon. I think it looks about ready. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
