Re: Closing structural cracks with hide glue

Why would I want to use stinky animal glue anyway? The smell of that stuff boiling away is repulsive. Even wet dogs smell better which is saying something.

I'm not prepared to give it a try as you have to heat up the wood to be sure the hide glue adheres to it which is pretty much impossible with cracks in woodwinds - superglue will wick into very fine cracks and bond to the surfaces.

I've used superglue for decades with success, so there's absolutely no reason for me to ever consider hide glue. If I was a stringed instrument repairer then I'd use it, but I'm not so I won't.

End of subject.
