   Generally they are less than stellar in my experience

   Heck . . . I can answer that.  Here is an old thread.  One of the first things I did once I learned the basics of fine woodworking was to spend a bunch of time researching glues with an emphasis on home shop use as opposed to the high tech, high production glues which are a whole different world.

   Here is a link.

   . . . page down to the post with my silly face on it.  I am on quite a soap box about the "extended open time glues ".

   PS: I specifically list the GarretWade in the slow sets I tried.  Page further down to :

   Slo-Set Glue

   roc,

   Thanks for the disertation Either I didn't read carefully enough or you didn't say whether the Slo-set passed your test. I assume it did. Does it really have a 30 min open time? Do you know what kind of glue it is? PVA, cross-linked, aliphatic-resin? I don't really know the difference except I understand that the plain PVA is subject to creep and other problems.

   I guess I'll have to get a bottle and try it. I would still like to get a tech bulletin though.

   It appears that a lot of folks are high on liquid hide glue.  I guess I'll have to try some of that too.

   Thanks
