<DIV>My little hot pot on cost $11 and it has a nice lid that keeps =
the
moisture in so that the glue does not skim over. It is wider also, so =
less
chance of tipping over. Joe Garrett has informed me that keeping the =
glue
between 130 F and 150 F should be just fine. My 140 F should work =
quite well
then.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The supply house pots are just so expensive. I'm sure they work =
fine
also. The ugly truth is that three years ago I bought one, used it =
once, and
decided that I would never use hot hide glue again. I looked for it =
the other
day when about to start glueing key bushings, and could not find it. =
So
WalMart there I went. I'll keep my eyes open around the homestead for =
my old
glue pot though. I did not realize you could adjust them.</DIV>

<DIV>Terry,</DIV>
<DIV>You just going around the world to get across the street. =
Just
order a glue pot from Schaff or your favorite supply =
house. Buy a
candy/deep fry thermometer to check. If =
needed, remove a
few screws and the pot housing opens up and can be =
calibrated with
a turn of a screw. I've had my pot 25 yrs or so and =
adjusted it
once after it fell off the work bench. </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks Roger. I've been won over. </DIV>

<DIV>What methods do folks use to keep the water bath at 130 F? I =
have a
Rival Hot Pot (the one Bill Spurlock recommends). It has a little =
dial
guage that I have set to low. That was close to boiling, so I put =
the

sells
for regulating the heat to a soldering iron for ironing key =
bushings and

the pot
