Potential animal glue heater...
I just saw this on Aldi's web site. For the price, it could be worth a try for heating up animal glue for occasional users.

Keeping "Hide Glue" at correct temperature
G'Day Woodwould,
I've got an old baby bottle warmer from the Salvo's shop plus a hot wax heater from my daughter,
but neither will maintain the glue temperature at 80 deg"c" for me.
I wonder how well the Aldi Gravey Warmer will work?
Cheers, Crowie

I doubt the gravy warmer would keep the glue around 80c, but for 9.99 its definitely worth a try. Only trouble is, we dont have Aldi in Perth
Post if it works and ill get dear old mum to send me one over

Isn't 80 a little hot for hide glue? I thought it was somewhere in the 60 -70 range?
69deg last time I did any a year or so back.

G'Day "Claw Hammer",
I may be very wrong but I bought the Ubeaut Pearl Hide Glue and on the Ubeaut website it says, quote;
"Before hide glue can be used it must be heated to around 80oC"....
HIDE GLUE - Joiners Pearl Glue
It'd be so much easier for me if your temperatures are correct!!
Maybe others could help with their experience and knowledge on the glue.
Thank you!!
Cheers, Crowie

I use Behlen hide glue and it says 80c as well. I have heard of guys who heat their animal glues in between 65c and 75c though. It probably depends on the brand, the strength and the quality; like all things...

I am aware some recommend heating glue as high as 80° C., but I have nothing but problems with it if I heat it over 60° C. (140° F.).

Hey Woodwould,
Been a long time since i've posted, but from my experience with hospitality that gravy warmer should be designed to keep sauces (especially hollandaise!!) over 65C, any less would be an industrial design oversight.
I say go for it, but there's the possibility it's just for keeping sauces warm at the dinner table, in which case it might not cut it for animal glue; still if aldi was in SA i would be picking one up tomorrow...

I don't believe the warmer is ideal (the wax pot I currently use is the best glue pot I've owned and I've had a few different commercial versions), but for the money, and for those who are only occasional glue users, I still think the Aldi warmer could be worth investigating.
If the device is set at a higher than optimal temperature, you could always place something between the warmer and glue pot/jar to dissipate some of the heat. I'm sure there would be some experimenting required..
