I agree that hide glue definitely has an advantage, that it can be removed easily, it's just that I don't presently value that enough to stop using synthetic glue. I don't see what else I would gain by switching. When choosing a glue, I want it to allow sufficient open time for the work I'm doing, I want to be able to clean up its squeeze-out, I want it to set quickly and cure hard, I want it to soften with heat, and I want it to be strong enough to survive the necessary tension. I get all of that with synthetic glue, at room temperature too. That's why I think synthetic glue is an improvement--it performs the necessary function more easily. But I have always used synthetic glues and I lack the other perspective. However, I'm always interested in making my next guitar better than the last one (and you certainly build finer guitars than I do), so tell me, why do you consider hide glue superior? Persuade me to invest in a glue pot [:)]
