size=3>Dear Everyone,<BR> The "Brown" action I am =
working on
had <BR>replacement cord loops glued in with great messy globs<BR>of =
white
Elmer's( TM). I was faced with figuring out<BR>how to remove it from the =
delicate, grooved forked<BR>thingees on the "wypyns", without wrecking =
the
wood<BR>underneath.<BR> So I "slept on it" for =
about a
week ( always a<BR>good idea when you're "up against it" ) 'til, in the =
<BR>"wee
hours" of the morning, it occurred to me that <BR>"Elmer's " is a =
PVA-type
glue <BR>( polyvinylacetate ) . So I dunked one of the<BR>"wypypns" in
acetone.<BR> In about a minute the Elmer's (TM) had =
turned to
a<BR>fragile gelatinous boogery stuff that a little brass<BR>brush quite =
easily,
and cleanly, removed.<BR>
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!<BR>
Thumper,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
