Titebond Liquid Hide Glue, 8-Ounces #5013

I use this hide glue for repairing the wood cabinets of old tube radios. I don't use white glue because if any excess white glue gets on the veneer then it will not take up any stain properly and will ruin the look. This is not a problem with the hide glue though. Any excess hide glue can be wiped off with a damp cloth before the glue dries and will have no bad effects on the veneer. Hide forms a strong bond with wood as long as it does not get wet and works perfectly for my old wood radio cabinets. I have also found hide glue also has a longer shelf life than white glue when once opened.

I love this glue for the guitar amp cabinets I build. Perfect for finger joint joinery. The long open time makes assembly and clamping less stressful. Joints are strong and cleanup with warm water is very convenient. Not for outdoor use, of course, but for cabinets and musical instruments it's great.

best glue to use with new or used furniture repair. Plenty of working time before it sets up. I warm mine up before using it in tight spots like fixing chairs where you need to inject the glue with a syringe. I love that you can wipe excess off after clamping with a wet cloth, and you can stain it without color change where it was glued.

“This stuff is a must-have in the shop. Perfect for re-gluing braces, bridges, or doing vintage-style repairs where you want strong bonds and reversibility. It dries hard, transmits vibration beautifully, and cleans up easily with a little warm water. The fact that you can undo it with heat makes it invaluable for instrument work. If wood glue is your daily driver, this is the classic Cadillac. A true luthier’s best friend.” — Praying to the car gods

I am in the process of rebuilding an old mandolin. This is apparently the type of glue used for musical instruments. It is very tacky and works well. If you use your fingers to spread it,it is harder to get off than normal wood glue. It seems to hold very well, it has a longer drying time, so you have time for multiple clamping.

i bought a guitar with a cracked top. I used this glue and it did a great job. The crack is sealed and holds tight under the tension of the strings.

Great glue for repairing guitars. I ordered this glue so my brother could repair my fathers guitar to pass on.

Used this to fix violin. Did a good job.

Reminds me of very old days when such a perfect glue used to be common...

Great glue when you need a long open time or reversiblity (hot water plus a touch of vinegar will liquify it again). Be aware - liquid hide glue has a shelf life! Manufacturer states two years, in the right conditions you can get more. If you're unsure there are a few tests you can do: Put a dab of glue between your fingers then slowly open then - it should be spidery. Spread some glue on a piece of paper and let it dry, then try to bend it - it should crackle. The best test IMO though is to glue two pieces of wood together, let it cure overnight then try to break them apart. If the wood tears apart the glue is still good. If it just separates the glue isn't strong enough. Not worth ruining a project for a bottle of glue, buy new when in doubt and write the date you got it on the bottle.

Limited uses but good
