ike Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) I assembled a project I was making with tight tightbond2 glue. a couple of days later i discovered that i assembled the part wrong, I tried every way i could think about to get it apart with out breaking it, I was then told by a friend to use vinegar,I didn't want to soak the part so I took a foam paint brush and dabbed the joints with vinegar a couple of times and when i wiggled the part at the joint it came apart now All I have to do is clean up the joints. just a little information for others that don't watch what they are doing, don't be like work smart.

LarryEA Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good information Ike. I would assume it would be worth trying on other glues also. If you don't want all those cookies, I'll take a few. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Heat (as in heat gun) works also, however you have to be very careful or you will scorch the wood. There are so many thing vinegar is good for. Just wish they made it smell better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Good to know.. Now if I can only remember that. I wonder if it works with other wood glue too.. I will also try the heat gun thing. I have to start too many of my posts with 'oops', so these might change some of my posts Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Vinegar is acetic acid, I was wondering if all vinegar is this same acid that breaks down the glue,Google it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yes all vinigar is acetic but balsamic is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Perfect solution is to try using HARD APPLE CIDER. Take a drink, apply hard cider to glued parts, take a drink, repeat. After awhile you won't care if it comes apart or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
