Yup....

I've always been very susceptible to the power of suggestion. Food to me tastes better if I use Ketchup on it if the Ketchup comes from an old fashioned red ketchup bottle just like this one. Mustard as well from the matching yellow bottle.

With this said are we to expect and anticipate the release from our friends at Stew Mac of HHG in a yellow mustard bottle?

According to the Ketchup Advisory Board, ketchup has natural mellowing agents.

I actually have some of this . I am not convinced of its durability yet . More testing to be done

I read an interview where Jose Romanillos glued a block of wood to his living room floor and would give it a kick or two every day for a couple of months. When it remained solidly stuck for so long, he said it would be a good glue for many parts of the guitar.

If I recall correctly from one of his books, he favoured cascamite for gluing bridges. ie urea/formaldehyde. Pretty sure you can boil the stuff and it stays stuck. Good luck to anyone repairing one of his guitars in future!

Exactly staying stuck is only half of what makes a glue suitable for Lutherie with reversibility the other important half.

I have a craving for a Coney Island hot dog with ketchup and mustard and onions and some onion rings on the side.

I love fish glue.
works great ,long work time,
I tested joints made of it-always held-even if the wood was oily.
Holds my burger to the bun also.

Hey Mike.

I'm contemplating removing the back of an F5 mandolin that I glued on with fish glue. Have you ever had to release any of your fish glue jobs?

Gary Davis

for G Davis.
use warm water & white vinegar. Use a thin palette knife to work into the joint the glue will soften
then work around the back. it'll come off .Do Not soak the joint-that will mess up your finish.
