Interesting thread. Not wishing to drift ot, I looked up Titebond hide glue - I need a glue that can be dissembled for some situations but that sounded handier than boiling stuff up.. The information on one ebay listing is confusing -
Titebond Genuine Hide Glue 4oz
Titebond II Dark Wood Glue is a dyed version of Titebond II Wood Glue.
Suitable For Wood, Cloth, Leather, Craft
Type Cross-linking polyvinyl acetate

So, although described as 'GENUINE HIDE GLUE', this is a PVA adhesive, not a true animal based hide glue, nor synthetic equivalent, and will not come apart with steaming! I am sure it is an excellent product, so why do they have to mislead people?
