In Response To: Re: crotch mahogany veneer preservation (John Boger)

Logic would lead one to believe that a little water would reactivate the old glue, but more hide glue is the answer. There is a liquid form now sold in bottles in the Hdw. store, so you won't need to go to all the trouble of getting a glue pot etc. The cracking will result from exotic veneers with radical grain, it is a shrinkage issue that can't be helped in all cases.
