    Good day Scott, i'm a Scott also! I use hide glue in certain applications on models. I use it very often in the marquetry work that i do. It has many great attributes as you have stated. One that is not and is the reason i use it is when it drys it is HARD! Regular pcv glues when fully cured have some flexability in them. Pull off cured glue waste from around a applicator neck and you can bend it. Hide glue is like glass, it will snap. On the benjamin latham model that I just started it requires you to glue four pieces together to form the keel. After gluing them together and letting them set overnight the keel is dead strait and will not flex when pressure is applied. When the bulkheads are attached the body of the ship is very rigged and will not warp! Just another attribute of a great product!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
