Don’t know if there is anything that will dissolve it once it is set.  Tough stuff! <o:p></o:p> Joy!<o:p></o:p> Elwood<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <DIV> Rev.

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.<o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV>  <o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV> Good luck,<o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV> Dale<o:p></o:p></DIV> <DIV> Dale E.
