Today's episode of the Woodwright Shop on PBS covered veneering using HHG (hot hide glue) so I paid attention.
I've never used HHG but have been following with interest all the conversations in this forum regarding its use. I don't know that I build enough to make using it worthwhile but I'm always interested in learning more about building.
In this episode they were veneering drawer fronts and then banding the outside edges. They applied HHG to BOTH sides of the veneer and after squeegeeing it in position and letting it set a bit they used a cabinet scraper to remove the excess glue leaving some to fill the pores.
I've never heard of this, anyone out there used this method?
Any advantages or disadvantages that you've experienced?
They mentioned that this worked well even if staining or varnishing.
