Old Brown Glue sets through water evaporation, giving it 15-45 minutes of open time depending on shop temperature and humidity. It eliminates panicked glue-ups and allows you to repair even the most botched job.  If you've made an error in glue-up, simply apply moist heat to the joint (a piping hot wet rag usually does the trick), and you'll be able to pull the joint apart.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   Old Brown Glue fully sets in 24 to 48 hours depending on shop temperature and humidity.
