That's right ssgtchad. Stick with what has worked for the last thousand+ years. That's enough time to prove a product.

willie:
From reading above I see that hide glue has been traditionally used and preferred for it's ability to make corrections.

Can these corrections that hide glue is capable of, be made once the glue is dried completely, or are the corrections of the type that are done shortly after the glue-up has jelled, but not cured yet?
thanks

Pat B:
You can heat hide glue and it will soften to make changes or corrections.
 I've hear that Urac works on horn/wood.

Perfect explanation as to why the one and only modern handgun I will own is a 1911/.45ACP.   >:D
