I guess my question is why? There are other glues that have longer working time, are easier to work with, don't require temperature control of surfaces or environments, are stronger, dry just as hard or harder, and I don’t think energy loss at the glue joint is an issue. Of course they aren't "traditional" but then, who cares. David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net www.davidlovepianos.com Hi list. I'm about to install my second new soundboard into my 23rd piano. The first one I glued with fish glue. This one, I want to try with hide glue, as I read somewhere that only this glue will and fill the small gaps efficiently, and dry very hard, favoring minimal energy loss at the joint.
