Liquid Hide Glue

 I've done a few a few test gluings with the Old Brown Glue and it is working very very well in its strength catagory and working time as well as set time. I've mated several pieces of small stock and later broke them. Of course what we wanted to see was the failure in the wood and not in the glue itself and that was the case. The glue dries to a very hard and translucent state exactly the same as the Hot Hide glue variety.

  
 The photos show post intensional joint failure with the released adjacent wood fibers.
 Old Brown Glue definitely requires a full 24 hours for a positive set. This glue might change my life.......
