Hot Hide Glue Problem

[Philippe Errembault]

I was taught to remove hot glue by just adding a few drops of white vinegar (or acetic acid). It makes it fragile, and you just break it very easily without needing to heat anything. Then, you let they acid evaporate, and it's ready for gluing again.

According to my source, it's the way ebenists do it.

    Now that I have had my coffee, I should have said that Hot Glue forms a Chemical BOND, not a reaction. If done correctly it will adhere to glass and break off chunks of glass if removed. Stained glass people do this. Some great Q & A are found here:

  David,

  Based on what I know of hide glue, I doubt you remove it with a purely dry heat some humidity must be introduced somewhere.
