[CAUT] gorilla glue

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Dale. Of course, I was hoping you'd have some magic solvent or
voodoo for me. What an awful glue...

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.
