    Great tips, Beau, the masking tape dams/locators a new one even for me, a long-time hide glue user. Will definitely adopt this. I use my phone timer (also silent) – no need to go and buy a new egg timer! 😁

    I noticed you used MinWax, I assume floor wax, instead of Renaissance wax, which you have previously promoted. Is the MinWax wax better, or did you run out of Renaissance wax and the MinWax wax was just available?

    thank you

    Great info! Thanks again, this is going to help out a lot in the next few weeks as I try my hand at hide glue.

    Wise words

    Have you considered using Fish glue? It has the same properties as Hide glue, applied at room temperature, with a much longer open time. I know it is rumored to be more susceptible to softening with high humidity. Maybe you could do some tests??

    Thank, Beau

    Looking forward to this!

    Dam! I feel vindicated. Been using the tape guide from the start and always felt guilty for ‘cheating’ 🙂
    And we all know you can’t beat a nice tight butt.

  20. Keith Short on September 12, 2023 at 8:23 pm

    Many thanks for the multi layered tape stop trick! Much better than my previous technique of using a tape “wrinkle”! Thanks!

    Dear Beau great video ! are you always cleaning the bridges with acetone before gluing or is it depending of which type of wood you use ?
