Would you normally find a few hammer the next day that you had to redo, if you used hide glue, Dean? That's the one caveat I've heard about Titebond: that alignment will shift as the glue dries and the shanks twist. It is nice to be able to move them around, but I'd like to know if it's the glue that causes the problem. Thanks!

I've used different glues in the past, most recently I've been using hide glue. I decided to trim the molding glue on a set of upright hammers I just hung and I loved it. It had very fast tack time, even on joints that were very loose. The next day there were a few hammers I had to redo. No problem, just heated them up with the blow drier and moved them were I wanted them.
