Titebond unglue

Wanted to undo some prototype assemblies so called tech support and
got 180° in oven and patience will probably soften original Titebond
for disassembly. Worked!

She included patience in the description. These are 4" X 2.5" X 1/4"
boxes and they were in the oven about 1/2 hour and wood split as I
used pliers to challenge the glue on the bottom parts. Had to square
them in the garage before they cooled as the box joints were flexible
still.

Thank you! It never occured to me to unglue something. I would have been
pissed and threw the item away and started over again.

During the phonecon I asked about vinegar and she went to the 180°
oven not answering the vinegar question. I couldn't get hot vinegar
into the joint anyway. She also asked for the name so it has to be
tailored to the product. Prototype was nesting boxes with box joints
and the nesting mechanics was what was being toyed with. Boxes were
fine but mechanism wasn't and needed to go. Learned a couple of
things on this one.

I guess that may explain why the TiteBond III waterproof test did not fair
so well as IIRC the pieces were put in boiling water.

Vinegar works pretty good also if you can get it on the glue.
