Last Friday we finally got around to taking the product shot for our new glue spoons (update: no longer available). Since the spoons are meant for pouring out glue and since I wasn't in the middle of actually gluing up a project, we had to specially heat up some glue, set up the shot, pour it out, and glue something together. In addition to the glue spoon I also took out a glue brush so I could compare using the spoon with the brush. (big difference - the brush is great for controlling a little glue, the spoon is awesome for getting a lot of glue out like a squeeze bottle. It was the first time I have ever used one and I think I like it a lot. Better than just a bigger glue brush.
So that's what I did first thing Monday. A rinse in hot water and then a little detergent. It's basically good as new (this last picture is the brush after cleaning with a new, never used brush a little blurry in the background). The glue brushes aren't hugely expensive and with cleaning they last for years and there is no point in wasting them. This to me is the real charm of hide glue. I'm never gotten a titebond brush so clean. In return for the hassle of heating it hide glue up you get a super strong jointe that is easy to undo, easy to clean up after, and most important to me, is largely transparent to finishes. I came late to the party but lately I can say: I love hide glue.

start trying to dress the set in front of the camera so as to get the jump on the

I can't believe you are selling traditional glue spoons! I haven't ever used one (or even seen a real one), but I am in the middle of reading Stephen Shepherd's Hide Glue book, and he mentions how to use them.
I have been using hide glue for a while and really like it. I am still using PVA for most edge glue-ups for reasons of convenience and economy, I think a glue spoon would make those easier though. Hide glue really shines for joinery.
