A high quality bone glue, manufactured from selected
raw materials. It has a breaking strain far in excess
of British Standard 745 requirements, and is recommended
for antique restoration, piano actions, sports goods,
high class furniture, chair frames, veneering, and
any trade where a first class, long-lasting joint
is necessary. The level of preservatives in this
formulation keep the glue free from mould and bacteria
for a long time in the glue pot. Its slower setting
characteristics enable the glue to penetrate hard
woods more deeply and provides a longer open time
for intricate assembly work and veneering operations.
Many of our customers claim that once used, they
never return to Pearl glue.
For antique restoration and reproduction. While
our Pearl glue is an excellent product, our Sheppy
Scotch Glue has many advantages over it, providing
stronger joints and ease of use.
It is a ready prepared hot glue in jelly form,
at the right concentration of glue to water, merely
requiring heating to make it useable.
Chemicals added to the high quality bone/skin
glue lengthens the open time, allowing adequate
time for assembly, very deep penetration of hard
woods and, therefore, stronger joints and assists
easier laying of veneers, particularly large areas.
Unlike P.V.A's. which are not compatible with
old hot glue. Sheppy Scotch glue is completely
compatible with old glue. However it is advisable
to clean off any surplus old glue that maybe weakened
as a result of any past fracture of the joint.
The lower melting point and longer open time
of Sheppy Scotch glue enables the use of the glue
in colder workshops and helps eliminate the possibility
of poor joint strength due to the glue setting
off before assembly. It can be advisable in extreme
weather conditions to warm the wood before gluing
and assembly, thus assisting the usual deep penetration
of the adhesive.
Sheppy Scotch glue is ideal for blocking out
the carcase of a cabinet. It being merely necessary
to apply the glue to the block and place the block
to the vertical side of the cabinet, rubbing the
block backwards and forwards gently until it resists
movement, at this point the block remains where
it has been placed without pinning . A perfect
rubbed joint will have been made.
Sheppy Scotch glue is strongly preserved against
bacteria and fungal attack, unlike Pearl glue
which is only mildly preserved. It is very unlikely
to go putrid in the glue heating vessel and may
be used for several days. It will, of course,
require water to be added from time to time to
compensate any loss through evaporation.
Sheppy Scotch glue is completely compatible
with Pearl Glue and, therefore, Pearl Glue can
be added to it for very special application.
Sheppy Scotch glue was introduced in the very early
1920's to meet the requirements of the furniture
industry in the days when it was perceived a slow
setting glue had advantages over normal glue for
veneering, assembly work and extraordinary joint
strength. It was one of many similar products formulated
by our competitors for the same purpose, however
today, we are, we believe the sole manufacturer
of this product. It is of the finest quality and
it is easily available to the smaller user through
a network of agents from whom it can be purchased
in 1kg, 5kg & 12.5kg pails.
Our customers include Cabinet Manufacturers and
restorers, Cricket Bat manufacturers for both the
handle and to bond the spline, Piano Action manufacturers,
Organ building and restoration and Violin/Viola
repairers and manufactures.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Place sufficient glue into a glue pot and warm
it until the glue reaches the consistency of paint
and flows freely. NEVER do more than warm the
glue, it should never be so hot as to show steam
rising from it.
Once warm, the heat can be turned off and the
glue will remain liquid for some considerable
time - dependent on the temperature of the workshop.
.
DIRECTIONS FOR LAYING VENEERS BY HAND:
Sheppy Scotch enables veneers to be laid more
quickly and with less effort.
The temperature of the glue is important, and
it should be prepared and used as above.
Prepare the ground or base in the usual way.
To make the veneers supple, coat them on both
sides with glue and warm water (one brush full
of water to one of glue). This should be brushed
into the veneers for 10 minutes or so until they
become supple. For harder woods and more curly
veneers, it is advisable to apply more warm water
with the brush and rub the solution in with the
fingers until the veneers have become thoroughly
supple.
Apply Sheppy Scotch to the ground and allow
it to become somewhat tacky over the whole surface.
The veneers should be applied and laid in the
usual way, with the hammer working from the centre.
If the glue should gel before this operation is
completed, a moderately warm iron or a damp cloth
dipped in hot water will render the glue liquid.
If blisters immediately appear here and there,
they will be drawn down as the veneers dry out
and contract, and will not leave permanent blisters.
If at these points and in particular parts near
the edges of the veneered panels are not well
laid, they can be put right next day - again with
the aid of a moderately warm iron.
