Titebond liquid hide wood glue
I'm referring to the 'ready mixed' Titebond in a brown plastic squeezy bottle. Has any one used it to hold a bridge in place? I'm not looking for guesses (I can guess and gamble myself ), just real life experience on this issue please. Thanks.

I have used the original Titebond for Guitar construction for years and never had a joint failure.The only problem with gluing bridges with the original Titebond is the bridge slipping when clamping . I overcome the problem by tapping in some pins in to the bridges base and gutting off the heads.When you press the bridge onto soundboard ,the pins hold it in place . I have not used liquid hide and I don't know if there is any advantage in doing so?

Well, it's easy to use, it comes in a bottle and you just squeeze some out - that's the advantage. But if it's not strong enough - and that's the reason why I asked - then obviously, any advantages in that respect are negated by its lack of gluing power, if that's the case..

One of the catastrophic failures was the top on a lute I made coming unglued. Pretty serious damage resulted. I'd never use it on anything other than arts and crafts projects. If you are looking to avoid the issues with hot hide glue, I do recommend Old Brown Glue, a pre-mixed liquid hide glue. You can buy it direct, or Lee Valley now sells it. It has a one year shelf life. |

I realize I did not actually answer your question ,sorry. But I am still interested in why you would want to use liquid hide Glue ?.The original Titebond is also easy to use and has a long history of being successfully used in guitar making . I have used traditional hot hide glue , and I think it is unpleasant to use and is inferior to the more modern glues . |

That, good sir, is the info I would like to see. I know a repair guy named Charles in Florida whom I email for advice frequently. Most recently I hit him up for info on installing sperzel locking tuners. His advice was spot on and über helpful. Maybe something like that? I dunno. I just enjoy reading info on building guitars and seeing different takes on how to do something. |
