<p>I read another way to test it is to put a drop on something and let it set up overnight. If it dries hard, then it is good. I tried that test on some out of date stuff and sure enough, it did not completely harden. I think the tip came from Stewmac video tips.</p>

<p>My painting professor in college would sarcastically try to allay the concerns of vegan students by insisting that they didn't hurt the bunnies, but in fact merely give them a gentle squeeze over a jar and let them go. ;-)</p>

<p>Opinion noted. </p>
<p>Not familiar with the Luthier's Handbook" but I do have his second edition of the Bluegrass Mandolin Construction Manuel and I found it very useful for building my first mandolin. And he has always been helpful to me when contacted him with questions. I've bought a lot of products from his site and been happy with them. I have used fish glue with good results myself and I like the fact that it has longer working times. But it is probably not the glue for everyone! …</p>

<p>You were never insulted Hesh. Sorry if you feel that way. Please note it was YOU who asked ME to reply -- when I do you complain? What sense does that make?. </p>
<p>I think you did give opinions and that is fine -- so did I except for the Fine Woodworking article which was factually recorded data. You were the one who expanded the discussion not me. I merely pointed out the article in my first post.</p>

<p>For the record that citation you gave is not a "Scientific American" article at all! Rather it is a reprint of a Climatewire blog piece. In addition Hesh, Scientific American is not a science journal -- it is a journal <strong>abou</strong>t science. Finally, did you read the story you cited? If you do you will see it reveals the fanciful nature John Cook's bogus claim of "97% of scientists believe" and kind of ridicules it actually.</p>

<p>Jeff there is no "d" in Roger. Mr Roger Siminoff was not mentioned in the contest of science in this discussion. But Roger is highly respected luthier and was a big factor in the return to quality for Gibson mandolins by being the moving and technical force behind the introduction of the Gibson F-5L in 1978. The story is well documented.</p>

<p>Not sure if you will consider the journal Scientific American to be a "LOL" matter or not nor do I care. However there are some inaccuracies in your statement regarding climate change, some rather large ones... including where the 98 - 97% number came from. </p>

<p>Bernie you seem to think that you are entitled... to personally insult people at will. Calling my beliefs and current conclusions "opinion" while lecturing me on how I might or might not move forward is also both insulting and an overstep on your part.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The climate change example was yet an example of science vs. other things that folks choose to believe. You are a climate change denier as I suspected.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The irony here is of course your entire approach to me has been prove this, prove that, etc. falling back on the ivory tower of the unreal world.. to debate a professional Luthier. When faced with another issue in which even the UN, I beg to disagree, is issuing reports as recently as last month both verifying the existence of man-made climate change you choose a position that now discounts the science.</p>
<p></p>
<p>How convenient or perhaps should I say inconvenient...</p>
<p></p>
<p>My reply is called a "response...." Bernie and regardless of your ability to talk down to folks and believe that matters are closed when you say they are I beg to differ here too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You are entitled to respond to me as well and I would never attempt to take anyone's choices from them as you seem to do with me, Bernie.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I would suggest, and it's only a suggestion, Bernie, that you contact me off the forum at a2guitarsllc@gmail.com to continue our discussion. I would like that and then we can be completely honest and not bother anyone here at the same time as well as be more respectful of our host and fellow guests.</p>
<p></p>
<p>By the way is "LOL" a scientific expression and if you believe so please provide documentation of same.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In closing.... for now... you seem to be pretty sure of yourself that climate change is a 50:50 thing when I find this completely unsupported by any source that I can currently find. Perhaps you should stick to your own field my friend because some remedial education seems to be in order as well.</p>

<p>You seem prone to believing information you agree with <em>a priori</em> and dismissive of information that you disagree with.You will not move forward that way I am afraid. </p>
<p>Your example of CA has nothing to do with anything about wood glues or luthiery although it is a testament to the questionable intelligence of both individuals involved -- if anyone were to do something ridiculous as that ( I guess you have call it assault with intent to injure) it would be those two.</p>

<p>All of those opinions that you have are just that -- opinions. Fine for you enjoy and act accordingly. But it is not objective thinking -- as a life long scientist I am drawn to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>facts</strong></span> not opinions.</p>
<p>You should have stopped on glue. You are obviously seriously mis-informed on climate change. The statement that 98% of scientists (BTW the number was 97%) believe in anthropogenic causes for climate change has been thoroughly debunked -- years ago. That statement was the dishonest creation one person made in circa 2007 -- apparently by way of his ability to read minds! LOL He has refused for years to show his supporting "data' because frankly he has none. No one knowledgeable on the topic of climate -- on either side of the debate -- uses that bogus statistic anymore because it is not remotely true. Actual surveys of scientists in the field of climate research show that the split is about 50-50. This has all been published Even the UN's International Panel on Climate Change has admitted (a year ago March) that their climate models are not longer making accurate predictions. I do know a lot about climate change research and the models and I will not debate them on this forum (particularly if the debate is on Al Gore level!) </p>
<p>This is a luthiery forum isn't it? Enjoy your afternoon but I have said all I wanted to on the topic of HHG and LHG and FG. I'll continue the research the topic and pay special attention to actual data and results. Cheers.</p>
