Hellaenergy home | projects | blog 53 posts in 634 days 234 days ago	I’ve been in the market for a glue pot for use with animal protein glues such as hide glue and “Old Brown Glue”. Here are a couple that I’ve been looking at: Traditional Brass Luthier’s Gluepot w/ Warmer: http://www.musicaravan.com/node/6 Hold Heet: http://www.thebestthings.com/newtools/hide_glue.htm Have any of you used either of these products? If so, what are your opinions of them? Ultimately I am interested in finding out what peoples favorite glue pots are and why.

Otherwise purchase a small kitchen double boiler. Get a cheap electric hotplate and a stainless steel meat thermometer to monitor the heat. The glue brushes sold by Tools for Working Wood are fine. l use 192 gm strength granulated Milligan and Higgins hide glue (I sell it for $10/lb).”
