[CAUT] gorilla glue

[Ward & Probst, Inc]

Jim,
 
I think you'll have to cut the hammers off to save the shanks. I'd use a
band saw to remove as much as possible. then whittle off the rest. I am
pretty sure that poly glue is not susceptible to solvents after it sets. All
that said, you'd have enough time in the job to have to weigh it against the
cost of new parts, particularly if the original parts need repining, etc.
I'd guess it'd would take two to three hours to clean up the old shanks.
Unless they are unusual or costly shanks, that would be at least half the
way to new parts.
 
Good luck,
Dale

List,

 

All the talk of glue brings me to this problem/question. Someone used
gorilla glue to hang some hammers that I want to remove and I can't find
ANYTHING that will work. I know I could simply buy new shanks and flanges,
but does anyone know of anything that's works on this stuff??

 

Thanks.
