Hi Tom,
It might matter which Elmer's you use. The white glue gets soft with water and will melt.

Alex,

I'll let others tell you more about HOW to use it and just say
that hide glue will come apart fairly easily by using a heat gun
like a super hair dryer. OH, and I didn't mean you shouldn't do it
the way you planned, only that you KNOW you couldn't take it
apart if you wanted to. Elmer's and Titebond, when cured, are
actually HARDER than the wood itself and aren't softened or much
affected by anything.

Relative to the glue, Tom said " If you use Elmer's or titebond you won't be easily able to undo what you've done if it comes out wrong. Hide Glue will
permit, the others won't." Ivan also mentioned hide glue for the same reason. OK, although I see no reason why one would want to undo the repair work done, maybe I can give the hide glue a shot but please advise on:
How does one "undo" a hide glue repair job?
Any tips on using the hide glue?
Thanks,
ALEX
