Frozen yellow glue = trouble

: I have used elmer's and titebond in temperatures below 50 degrees quite a few
: times in building homes, cabinets, trimwork, staircases, etc. with no
: problem. However...if the glue freezes in the bottle, or even before it
: cures...I would toss it out.

I have to agree with the previous. My own experience, and everything I've ever read (lots of woodworking rags) says throw out yellow glue if it freezes! I've had multiple glue joint failures (in furniture -- no sinking there thankfully) that I attribute to glue that was stored in the garage and froze. I now have a heated shop so this is no longer a problem.
