  I wouldn't use PVC-E, it remains flexible.
  Try and get some from another tech, or a woodworker.
  Is liquid hide glue available, from a hardware store?

    MERRY XMAS TO ALL

    HELP!! I have to hang a set of hammers,on a CFII. I am in a time crunch. Last night I noticed that I only have about a table spoon of hide glue!! YIKES!!!

    Has anyone ever had experience using Knox Gelatin? It is the same stuff but I believe a higher gel strength then supply house hide glue (clear, edible - expensive!). Or a hide glue granule source in or near Tampa, FL ? 

    I have a lot of PVC-E but I have never used it for hammers and would like to avoid Titebond. 

    Any and all suggestion appreciated.

    Thanks,
