I may be accused of not being objective, since I developed this type of liquid hide glue some 20 years ago, but I have used it every day on the most amazing range of applications in my business restoring antiques, and it works every time. Non toxic, strong, easy clean up, and long open time are just some of the reasons it has replaced my hot glue pot for most use. Just try it and see for your self.
