<DIV>Arthur -</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Your point is well-taken, but I must not have run into any weak water-soluble glue as I have never had any veneer loosen by the introduction of any water wash, TSP included.  Granted, common sense is called for in that you would not leave the surface flooded with water for any appreciable time.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What I like about the TSP is that, given a surface that is totally free of finish, it will often remove more color than any of the solvent washes, without resorting to bleaches.  This assumes, of course, that this is your goal....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards -</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mark Potter<BR><BR><B><I>pianolac@bestweb.net</I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">>List,<BR>I agree with Mark on all points except the tsp, which must be dissolved in<BR>water.
