Depends what kind of "wood glue".

tbii

Hide glue melts at 150 to 180F.
Casein glue should not be heated beyond about 150F

hide glue and casein are the same or no

No. Casein is milk-based. Hard to find in the
market now but you can make your own. Formerly
(before WWII) was used for aircraft
construction.

Hide is, well, hide (and hoof and fish and other
things) based, has the advantages that it can be
disassembled with heat and doesn't have to be
completely removed to effect a repair, as long
as the repair is also with hide glue.

PVAgoes "plastic" at about 160F

which glues are pva

Most of the common "wood glues"--Elmer's,
Titebond, etc.

So the short answer to your question is "yes, many wood glues will
fail well below 200 to 300 degrees F"

more research for me then
