I wouldn't try it much colder than that, though. <br /><br />I'll make you this guarantee: If you don't like it, you won't ever have to buy it again! :o)<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />BrianBrian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-91490472227811466282014-01-30T15:17:07.524+01:002014-01-30T15:17:07.524+01:00Brian I use hide glue on my chairs because of the ...Brian I use hide glue on my chairs because of the reversibility and workability. I have always used Old Brown Glue. One thing about hide glue is it will loose its strength if allowed to sit too long. I am out right now but I believe there is a "use by date" on the bottles.<br /><br />I have heard that putting the glue in an ice cube tray and sitting it in the refrigerator, not the freezer, will help preserve it. Also that one cube is the correct amount to glue up one Windsor chair. Hide glue works best when it is heated, I use a warm water bath in a sunbeam hot pot, way cheaper than an actual glue pot.<br /><br />Here is a link to some good posts on hide glue by Pete Galbert.<br /><br />http://chairnotes.blogspot.com/2007/02/why-hide-glue.html<br /><br />http://chairnotes.blogspot.com/2007/02/hide-glue-1-2-3.htmlRay Schwanenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044622377753605626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-46956180602519670052014-01-29T13:59:52.983+01:002014-01-29T13:59:52.983+01:00On your recommendation I'm going to give liqui...On your recommendation I'm going to give liquid hide glue a try as my supply of wood glue is starting to run low. What's kept me from it is the temperatures in my area, which have been incredibly cold for the past two months (for instance, it is currently -14 C just for an example) We haven't had a day above freezing in roughly 6 weeks. My garage is usually only 50-55 degrees (10-12 C??) So I'm wondering if the glue would set in that temp range.

Anyway I found some liquid glue for cabinetmaking that contains bones and skins. They call it "colle forte d'ébénisterie", it should be ok, will give it a try...Aymerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444138173834377709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-23973878861699322462014-01-28T13:12:20.549+01:002014-01-28T13:12:20.549+01:00Hi Aymeric!

I have done both. I have not tried making my own liquid hide glue by adding urea or anything to my homemade stuff, but I have heard that is all you have to do. You should try it! Let me know how it goes.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-45244286274231044902014-01-28T12:20:08.798+01:002014-01-28T12:20:08.798+01:00Brian, That's a great tip, thank you!
