Mike:

You've given me credit for something that was actually written by the inimitable
Tom Conroy:

John Ruth wrote: "And, contrary to advertising claims, Old Brown Glue is not hot
hide glue"

( I concur with Tom, of course.)

Your post vis-a-vis also very informative with respect to Buhl glues.

My question is: Is it as safe for steels as real hide glue?  Many glues will
corrode various metals.
