That is why you will need to pretty much take it completely apart and re-glue all the joints. When hot hyde glue is stressed under heat it will get air in it and become brittle. Even below 140 it will soften up and the joints will start pulling apart. The LG-0 was put together with hot hyde glue which has a melting point of 140 degrees.
