Direct and to the point. I like it! But does any one know why we use cows and not pigs to make the glue? |

HG is cattle Hide glue can be any animal, and specifcally, the high clarity glue that many of us use is pork... |

Tim I'm certainly no expert or even close to it, but I'll send you to one who is. Frank Ford uses gelatin in a pinch |

I think it calls for an experiment. I would not try it on a guitar you plan to sell if I was you but maybe and old junker you got laying around. I hear orange jello is the best for gluing on braces. |

You guys are killing me. :o) If it's good enough for Mr. Ford (@350gm strength) It may do just fine,that is if I can work fast enough. Believe me i appreciate all the comments. Hank, I think you're right, the thread has digressed to 'surf 'n' turf |

I've used 192 g on 4 guitars,bridges included. I had to re glue two of them (bridges), tho this could of been user error.Point is that I had hoped that 192g was strong enough for bridges myself. Clinton |

Anybody have an idea what strength the Behlen's hide glue is? I don't see it on the can. Bill |

All i use is 192.... but. That number is merely a quantitative measurement. It's not the bond strength. It's merely the "burst" quality of the gelled gelatin. |

Todd, your expertise with numbers, and practical applications for data, is staggering. You're like a walking statistical program. If I had that much information in my head (and friends will eagerly verify that I don't), I think it would explode. Thanks, as always. Bill |
