Put a heat gun on it for less than 30 seconds and it will come free, put it under a brooder lamp, with a 100 watt light bulb in it, with the shade right down on top of it for a few minutes and again it will come free. Dry heat will cause Aliphatic resin glues to soften after they have cured, try the same thing with a hide glued hammer, it will remain tight. In order to remove/soften hide glue you must have a humid heat or as we call it steam. Mike -- Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
