David,
Michael is correct - any hide glue joint has to be very close fitting to have any strength. That is why, as I pointed out in my earlier post, in violin making the centre joint is a rubbed joint which results in the wood being bonded at the molecular level - there is virtually no glue remaing in the joint apart from a microscopic amount bonding the molecules.
A wide hide glue joint is not only ugly but also very weak - the glue itself has no real strength.
Just for the record I trained 3 years at college in violin/cello making and repair as well as all the woodwinds and sweated hours learning how to plane the centre joint on violin fronts to achieve the perfection of fit that results in strong and a near invisible joint. Over the past 20 years I have also opened up violins well over 100 hundred years old for repair.
So No - I would not even contemplate using hide glue on clarinet cracks and life (mine anyway) is far too short to waste on the futile experiment.
