Hot Hide Glue veneering

[@yl9154]

Fantastic workmanship! Worthy of a few centuries ago!

Thank you! Pearl is usually bone glue, granulated is usually hide. They can be mixed to change the properties but in furniture making the main ingredient on Hot Hide Glue will be hide.

That is such a beautiful result!

do you have any veneer repair videos? like repairing a partially delaminated panel??

[@3815utah]

Thank you for the idea. We will try to produce one soon.

Sounds good. Usually ive only had to deal with a little bit of edge lifting, but im confronted with a cabinet side where the veneer is lifted say 6 inches in from the edge, and extends upwards for a good foot or so. Its a side of a cabinet, and the total measurements of the panel are something like 20 wide and 36 inches tall, and due to the disign of the cabinet, i cant get c clamps on the front edge. If i had clamps with a 20 inch throat, i could get it from the open back side. So i see some sort of press as the only way to clamp if needed. Or lots of weight.

Thanks a lot! Do you have a problem with hide glue odor? I always have problem with the glue i make, even though the temp doesn’t rise above 140 degrees, although the dry glue I purchased had an unpleasant odor. Is there any method to enhance the smell? Many thanks!

Hide glue is not super pleasant, but people usually get used to it fairly rapidly. What kind of smell are you talking about, some smells may mean different things. It should not smell rotten or ammonia, that's for sure.

The treasure isn't in the box, it is the box.

Thank you !

This is really a question about hot hide glue for joinery: When I've tried to use hot hide glue for oak joinery, the oak turns black. I suppose there is ammonia in the glue? Am I just using the wrong glue? I was using a 192g odorless glue. I'm new to hide glue and that just happened to be what I was able to put my hands on.

[@3815utah]

I am sorry I never used odorless glue. Th hide glue does clean up nicely with cold water and if there is an ph interaction with the oak it will only be on surface and a light sanding should fix your issue. Now on odorless glue can have additives that could interract with the wood. Best of luck

​@@3815utah Thank you for the reply. The staining I encountered was substantial and didn't come off with a scraper or abrasive paper. Partly, this was the nature of the stain and partly I think it was from being in the joint and open grain, out of reach of the scraper. I'll find a different glue and see what happens. I'd very much like to switch to hot hide glue after some bad experiences with PVA. Thanks again.

Pearl Hide Glue or Granulated Hide Glue?

[@JeremiahRodriguez]

Does the glue side of the veneer get toothed as well?

[@3815utah]

Yes. We also use sawn veneer which are much thicke than regular commercial veneers.
