A 1000 watter won't touch the hide glue. But in standing around in what I seem to have mistakenly called a garage, (no room for the wifes Toyota RAV-4) I did spy something better than wood for the jig, I spotted about 2 feet of 4" wide, 1/2" thick HDPE, and that ought to make a nice jig. A 6" long piece will get checked out tomorrow. If I mill the pocket carefully enough, I would think the hide glue would pop off it easier than from the finished pcb.
