For what?<br></snip></blockquote></div><br></blockquote> </div> <div>Paul, </div> <div> </div> <div>Titebond isn't forever, try this experiment for your self, glue a junk hammer onto a shank  w/Titebond and allow it to cure for 24 hours. Put a heat gun on it for less than 30 seconds and it will come free, put it under a brooder lamp, with a 100 watt light bulb in it, with the shade right down on top of it for a few minutes and again it will come free. Dry heat will cause Aliphatic resin glues to soften after they have cured, try the same thing with a hide glued hammer, it will remain tight. In order to remove/soften hide glue you must have a humid heat or as we call it steam. </div> <div>Mike<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
