An old cabinet maker

Post by Aaron Aziz »

Recently I found myself visiting with an old cabinet maker about glue chipping and he mentioned that while hide glue was used most commonly used for chipping glass, regular wood glue would chip glass as well. I was wondering if anyone has tried it as I can see it some advantages with it over hide glue if it worked?

No, but if you're adventurous, do some tests, and post the results.

A note from the late Rick Glawson:

"NOTE: Only one type of glue will work for this process. It is a low grade, dry, animal hide glue with an approximate 165 gram strength and designated as glass chipping glue. High strength hide cabinet glues or gilder rabbit skin glues are very elastic and will not work. Neither do white or yellow wood working glues."
