I've seen lots of references to using hot melt glue (HMG) to stick scrap blocks to bowl blanks.
Is there a "preferred" formulation of HMG (are there different formulations?)
What about quantity of HMG used (a few blobs vs "smear it everywhere you can think of")?
It just seems to me that most of the HMG that I've seen barely holds 2 pieces of paper together, let alone a large hunk of wood spinning at several hundreds of RPMs.
TIA, Bruce
