Does anyone make a hide glue pot anymore?
Lee Valley has one but its out of stock.
Doesn't look like Hold Heet still makes them.
I kinda wanted a dedicated glue pot instead of using a crock pot but can't find a source anywhere?

Wondering IF that 1.5 Qt Slow cooker by Pioneer Woman, sold at Wall E World would do?
A Planer? I'm the Planer, and this is what I use
Yes, I'm sure there are all kinds of crock pots or bottle warmers that I can make work, but I try to adhere to a buy it once quality tool instead of going that route.
I bought this on AMazon and it works great.

Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
Interesting, that gets around the temperature issue with a bottle warmer or crock pot. Does it have an auto shut off after a period of time?
I’ve got a Hold-Heat I bought for $3 at a yard sale, but I don’t think it’s any better than a Crock Pot that has a real degree setting instead
of “warm”, “warmer”…. And you can always use a good cooking thermometer.
I use a mini-crockpot that came with a real one. I cut a hole in the lid for a thermometer. If you bought one, more than $10 would be too much. I don't use hide glue often but when I do, the little crockpot works fine. I put water in the pot and put the glue in a jar in the water.

I used a full size crock pot for a long time, last Christmas I got a Hold Heet.
In some ways, I like the crock pot better
1. I can keep a hammer veneer hot
2. I have a convenient source of hot water to clean up
3. I have a source of hot water to add to the glue if needed.
So far, I haven't put the glue directly in the HoldHeet, rather in a small jar and water bath.
I bought the wax pot recommended by an article in FineWoodworking and simply put, it did not work worth a hoot. The first time I used it, turned all the way up, it just barely got to 140, after that it would never go over 110. Maybe something wrong with it, but I do not recommend wax heaters!!

Interesting thread...Thanks

Wow didn’t know Hold Heet doesn’t make glue pots anymore. OK, here is a manufacturer that makes an industrial electric pot that can be used for glue, http://waage.thomasnet.com/viewitems...ip-coating-pot
The only downside is it’s a bit pricey..
