I've got a project I've been working on for quite some time. The summer
humidity has made a part swell allot more than I anticipated. Now I need to
take it apart and redo it right. Does anyone have any suggestions for
loosening the titebond 3 glue so I can take the joint apart? I know its
supposed to be waterproof, but the only thing that is really waterproof is a
frogs ass, and that is questionable too.
thanks in advance.

Well, you're right - its not as waterproof as some might think. But,
it does pass a certain level of controlled water resistance testing.

As far as getting it apart - doubtful IMO.
The website lists it as an Advanced Proprietary Polymer....as in
secret.
That terminology leads me to believe that if there is a solvent that
will breakdown the bond they probably won't tell you since knowing the
solvent might allow one to accurately identify components of the
polymer.
