I try to use hide glue for all gluing situations. I have heard you can extend the time before it sets by adding a bit of salt.

I use Elmo's Barnacle Glue. Have to find a way to keep it wet though.

So if I understand correctly, hide glue should always be used instead of wood/pva glue?

[@mizansomani1815]

Is the 192 okay for classical guitar bridges, or should a higher strength be used?

[@ahhimary3475]

Will this hot Hide Glue not melt the plastic dispenser? how to get this fish Glue, is it suitable for guitar bridge gluing?
