Yet, for as often as I use hide glue, something more affordable suits my needs. (Sorry Joel.)<\/p>\n<p>As I walked down the kitchen accessories aisle at Walmart a couple of days ago, this &#8220;Roll-Back Special&#8221; caught my eye. I don&#8217;t know how much Walmart stores across the country standardize their sale items, but in my neighborhood it was priced at $8.86. A <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">slow-cooker<\/span> glue pot for less than 10 bucks!<\/p>\n<p>It does exactly what I want for the sorts of occasional glue ups I do. I mix glue from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toolsforworkingwood.com\/store\/item\/MS-HIDEGL.XX\/Hide_Glue\">TFWW flakes<\/a> in a small glass jar (pickle relish). That jar fits nicely inside the pot. Fill with enough water to surround, but not overwhelm the jar and set to HIGH for about 30 minutes. That gets the temperature up to near 140. It will go to 180 if you don&#8217;t watch it. Then, set to WARM which holds right at 140\u00b0. Perfect!<\/p>\n<p>Oh&#8230; <strong>Keep the lid on the pot<\/strong> while not using the glue. Otherwise the temperature drops off fast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hide-glue-pot-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3313 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hide-glue-pot-1-300x179.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of pot and bag of glue flakes\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hide-glue-pot-temp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/hide-glue-pot-temp-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"thermometer shows 140\u00b0\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stuff likes to be kept warm &#8230; about 140\u00b0 warm.
