For some great hide glue tips, check out

I use the glue pot he recommends and it works great. While you are there,
check out all of his tech tips. Then order all of his $2 pamphlets. It'll be
the cheapest and best piano tech education you can get.

Duaine,

The way I do it is real simple. I put the glue cristals in a baby food
jar. I cover them with cold water, let sit for about 2-3 hrs, then heat
in an old coffee pot that has a thermostat (the glue stays in baby food
jar and the jar goes in the coffee pot with water at least above the
glue line in the jar).

Then it's usable.
