I finally found a good use for this stuff: it is good for making leather case buttons. No, I don't use it for hammers. (not unless I like chasing voicing for a year or two.<G>) As most know, I prefer Hide Glue for most work, but I do use many other glues, just not for action work. My rule is: if it needs to be taken apart, sometime, then hide glue is the choice. Otherwise, if it needs to be "forever" then my glue of choice, these days, is Tite Bond III. I still use Tite Bond. Never did like the T.B. II. It left the fingers yellow and had a really short working time. (I've been told that the Tite Bond II Extended is better in that regard. However, it's hard to find. Haven't tried it, because TB III is better, imo. Well, I digress. The Trim & Moulding Glue container went back to the old bottle tip. No clue why. I asked Franklin, but they did not reply to the question, just sent me a wad of those tips! Good Company, fer sure. I have a Love/Hate relationship with their bottle tips, (both). Wish they'd come up with one like Borden's has on their School glue bottles. It's what I use in my tuning kit. It's small, stays sealed and can be used to "pressure" glue into cracks w/o plugging/closing. Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
