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. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Dean<o:p></o:p> <U1:PERSONNAME u2:st="on">Dean May</U1:PERSONNAME>             cell 812.239.3359 <o:p></o:p> PianoRebuilders.com   812.235.5272 <o:p></o:p> <U1:PLACE u2:st="on"><U1:CITY u2:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Terre Haute</st1:City></U1:CITY> <U1:STATE u2:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">IN</U1:STATE></st1:State>  <U1:POSTALCODE u2:st="on"><st1:PostalCode w:st="on">47802</U1:POSTALCODE></st1:PostalCode></st1:place></U1:PLACE><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
