I'm using HHG for the first time in a build.  So far, I like it very much.
I hope the honeymoon doesn't come to an abrupt halt.
I'm planning on using John Arnold's idea, water-soluble aniline dye, on black locust back and sides, outside and inside surfaces.
Does anyone have experience with using HHG on stained wood, and it's long-term effects regarding adherence under correctly humidified conditions?
Thank you.
Best wishes!

Re: Hot hide glue's adherence to stained wood?
On John Arnold's advice on UMGF, I did not stain the back or sides before bracing.
I did, however, fume them with ~5% ammonia for 48 hours beforehand. The HHG sticks like stink to fumed black locust, and the bracing is gluing down very well.
