Franklin Liquid Hide Glue

If you repair amps with Tolex, you need this. Beats anything you're going to get at a home repair store. Good adherence,work time with the easy cleanup, much like white glue.

In the process of building my first guitar from scratch, I glued kerfing onto one edge of the side rims with this glue. I left it clamped several hours during the 98 degree heat outside under my patio roof. I left it unclamped in the same location overnight. Next morning it had come loose in one tight curve area. The glue residue was tacky to the touch in places where it had been dry the day before. There was very high humidity and I shouldn't have left it outside overnight, but it makes me wonder if it will ever harden sufficiently.

We Really Like The Franklin brand Liquid Hide Glue. We use it in the shop to mount the fiddle necks to the body of the electric fiddles and electric bass fiddles we make. For us it works just as good at room temp as it does heated to 150 to 160f. Clean, up is easy with a damp towel, sands well, we really like it and would recommend it to anyone building or repairing a wood instrument.

We could not miss in my small workshop ...

An excellent wood glue. Drying and crystallization is excellent for musical instruments. We must pay close attention to recommendations for damp locations is important, more pressing time.
