De-Glue Goo is the only non-toxic gel that will dissolve hide glue, white and yellow glues quickly and easily. Furniture restorers and musical instrument makers love how it cleans off old dry glue. Woodworkers, professional & amateur, depend on it to get rid of “squeeze-out” after clamping. Chair caners demand it for cleaning spline grooves. Luthiers are discovering how it can help with bridge repair and squeeze-out. Check out Mike Tagawa's product review in American Luthier, fall 2006. Expert restorer and cabinetmaker Larry McNeil developed De-Glue Goo to use in his own shop. He knew that in order to get a good glue bond two things had to be present: tight-fitting joints, and clean wood on glue surfaces. The best bond occurs when fresh glue touches clean wood on all sides. This means that the old glue must be removed before applying fresh glue. This is a tedious chore and some people just skip it. As a result, the new glue they apply sticks primarily to the old glue making a weak bond, easily broken. De-Glue Goo is so easy and efficient for removing the old glue, now everybody can make repairs the right way and still make a profit. Removing “squeeze-out” glue after clamping is critical for the staining and finishing that comes afterward. Scraping, chiseling or sanding the dry glue doesn’t always mean it is gone. De-Glue Goo soaks into the top pores, dissolves the glue, turning it white for easy visibility, and then it can be gently scraped off. Follow up with a wipe from a damp cloth. Once the area has dried, sand lightly if needed and you are ready for finishing. Fabric is easily removed from tambours, desks, table tops, and blanket chests with a thick coating of De-Glue Goo. Cover with plastic and leave it until fabric peels off. Copyright 2007 Kale Co.
