Ground
Animal Hide Glue-
Terribly politically incorrect,
but it sure works great
This glue is highly
recommended for gluing
bellows cloth to wood pieces
in player pianos.
Also, use it on all wood and
felt parts where you
wish to leave the possibility
of dismantling in future
years. This glue is
specially designed for use in
glue pots. Must
be dissolved in hot water.

"Hold
Heet" ®
Automatic Electric Glue Pot- no longer available
| USING ANIMAL HIDE GLUE If you are doing only one piano, you can heat the animal hide glue in an improvised double boiler. Don't use your wife's because the thing will be ruined. Put the amount of glue in the electric glue pot or your double boiler which will do the job as far as you can tell. Fill the thing next with enough cold water to cover the glue crystals to one quarter inch above the glue. Soak the glue inthe correct amount of water overnight. Heat slowly and stir as it heats. If you improvise, you MUST have a thermometer to make sure you don't overheat it. The working temperature must be just under 150 degrees F. Did you hear about the two Italian kittens sitting by the tennis court? They were watching two people play Tennis, and one kitten turned to the other and said, "Dat's my pa there, he's in da racket." |
