Only if you heat the workpiece beforehand.
In fact hide glue is used for its almost instant grab properties when making
'rubbed' (ie panel) joints that are made without cramps.

hide glue is the classic adhesive for fine furniture. it (and it's
analogs like rabbit glue) are the only glues that are correct for
antiques restoration. it's nice to work with for what it gives to the
assembly process, but it does involve some extra work of it's own-
mixing and heat pot maintenance mostly. one very good tip I have found
is to mix a batch and divide it into small portions and freeze them.
then heat those as needed.

Absolutely nothing ... but it does have a shorter open time than white glue.
For that reason alone white glue is something most old fashioned woodorkers
always have on hand ... and many will use nothing else.

Thanks! I've always wondered how that stuff was sold (box, bag, tube, tub).
Now having seen a container of the stuff, it should be a lot easier to find.

The ads say this has a work time up to an hour, and moist heat can
soften it for disassembly after that time.
There are some that are prepackaged so you don't need a glue pot.
But the shelf life is limited (a year I think).

I have listened to a few talks by Frank Klausz and he is a strong proponent
of Elmers white glue, which, I believe, has a longer working time than any
of the yellow glues. Also, it's cheap enough to not have to use any that's
been on the shelf awhile.
Frank describes how he has his assistants glue up test pieces with each new
batch of glue he buys. After the glue dries (overnight), he personally
tests the test pieces by striking them with a mallet.
Sounds good to me.....

Elmers WHITE glue is all you need.

Although I rarely glue in spindles:

IIRC, it's what David J. Marks uses when he refers to "plastic resin glue".

Good advise. Thanks.
Rival makes a Hot Pot Express that has variable heat ranges that is
ideal for hot hide glue. Cost under $25.00USD.

So I changed the subject.
Up until I'd read that posting, I'd never ever considered Elmer's
white glue for woodworking.
