  Are we talking about the hide glue specifically or titebond in general ?

      I’ve never heard of anyone refrigerating this, but it stands to reason it could be a good thing to reduce bacterial/fungal impact.

        I think this stuff has a reputation of going bad fairly quickly? Like 1 year or less.

        <div>Not sure fridging it would help but probably wouldn’t hurt?</div>

  @ianhatesguitars I think he’s specifically asking about the Titebond brand hide glue.

  I’ve never used it, so I have no input. Sorry.

  “Old Brown Glue” liquid hide glue specifically says that refrigeration extends shelf-life. I suspect it is similar to TiteBond hide glue.
