Titebond liquid hide glue - clamp time - Sawdustd - 07-26-2015
What is the approximate clamp time using this glue? Temp is in the low/mid 80's - 40% humidtiy. Titebond's web page doesn't state. Thanks - Dave

Woodworker's Hardware sells Titebond LHG, and the catalog states it has a clamp time of 30-60 minutes. That seemed a little strange to me....I had always though it was overnight. Anyway, I went to their website and checked there. Under "features" it states that "set time" is 12 hours...without mentioning clamp time. I've always used 12 hours as the clamp time for liquid hide glue, but it might pay to call Titebond.

I agree with Fred and always clamp the hide glue overnight.
Re: Titebond liquid hide glue - clamp time - Sawdustd - 07-26-2015
Ok, I think I'm safe to unclamp now. Its been 15 hours. I'll call Titebond tomorrow, just to see what they say and then report back.

I never knew Hide Glue needed clamping or even tight anyway.

I think it is 60 minutes with no joint stressing for 24 hours

Arlin, you can get away without clamping using hot hide glue if the parts either hand held or a rub block type of thing.I haven't used the liquid hide glue ,only hot hide glue.

Crystals to hide glue may be different from the pre mixed that Franklin sells, but with the crystals one of it's coolest features is a rub joint Most people leave them alone for 12 to 24 hours. Some would say, YES you have enough clamps already
Many people report good adhesion using Old Brown Glue and a rub joint and it is a prepared hide glue. I have some of the Franklin, I'll have to try a rub joint.
George says any old glue will do.........

Arlin:
Hide glue has been used for thousands of years. It is the only glue with a very long track record of success. All other commercial glues have only been around for the last half of the 20th century or so. Therefore, we don't know how they will act long term. The only glue used on antiques and accurate reproductions is hot hide glue because of the track record and the fact that is the only glue that is easy to reverse for repairs. I have used it for years and love it!
