[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 725503, member: 267"]I read that hide glue could be set/reversed with wet heat 140 - 160 degrees. Repeated dunking in hot (not boiling) water softens it to a rubbery goop I could brush off, but not super cleanly or easily. Still experimenting, with lots to go. Below the top are 2 thin sheets of veneer with earlier repairs, making me wonder if I can put it all back together squarely :wideyed: [ATTACH=full]188346[/ATTACH] Also looks like a chunk was harvested from a thicker panel to make those repairs. Interesting. [ATTACH=full]188347[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
