I plan to turn a segmented bowl, first time for this. I thought hot hide glue would be a good way to glue the segments. Does anyone have any thoughts on this method.

The main drawback is it's not at all waterproof. Russ Fairfield has a good article on all the common glues:

Quoting Russ:
"Hide Glue is not well suited for any construction of a segmented assembly because there is no guarantee that a finished bowl will not be used where contact with water and other liquids that would soften the glue."

Worse, heat - like the heat from sanding, may cause it to flow again as well.
Thanks to all, I'll use another glue.Probably Titebond 2 mike
