<font face="Arial">In the UK there is a variety of hide glue, made
by a company called Sheppey, and called Scotch Glue, which comes
in the form of a very stiff jelly.

It's handy to use in the field, as, if you carry a little in a
small glass jar with lid, it will melt by standing the jar in a
soup bowl of hot water supplied by the client. After use you just
wipe dry the jar and put the lid back on. <br>
<br>
Fletcher & Newman and Hechschers, the two UK piano supply
houses, used to sell it under the names Winstick and Wilstick,
respectively. But it can be had quite cheaply direct from
Sheppey.<br>
<br>
If you only have one small item to glue, you can even melt a
little in a teaspoon (your own not the client's!) with the casting
lamp. <br>
