<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I always use Elmer's yellow glue.It works great,
with no mess or fuss.When I replace hammers,I cut the old ones off with a
pair of shearing pliers.so there is no concern as to how easy they come
off.</FONT></DIV>

<P>OK, I know I'll get flamed by some but I have a brand new flame suit so I'm
safe. </P>

<P>Where can I find some good glue for hammers? I'm tired of using hot
hide glue. It's fussy! If you use it straight it jells before you
get the hammer in its final position. If you use to much additive it is
weak. It gets moldy between uses. I still get loose hammer heads
even when doing it right. As far as I can tell none of the current
factories use hide glue for hammers and I don't find loose hammer heads on
them. I know Andre has some glue listed on his web site, but it's not
available here. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Suggestions?</P>
