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.

If you succeed, please let us know what you did!
I have a panel door that I want to take apart. The plywood panel looks
crappy, but I don't feel like starting from scratch; I would like to just
replace the plywood.
I have some methods to replace panels in door. If you are interested
in trying, post an image in the binary group and I'm sure - well
almost sure- we could find a solution.

I am real happy with the cabinet, but after I put oil on it, the hideous
pattern came up on the plywood panel.
Other then routing the back off, I can't think of how to salvage it; so if
you have suggestions...
Toller - Probably nothing that you haven't already thought of and
rejected, but....
I posted a couple ideas in the binary group. You might consider these
*obvious* but I thought I'd show them anyway.
If the panel is floating you could go another direction.
Cut out the panel leaving say an inch around the insideThen make a new
stile and rail with dado that will slide in to the remaining panel
leaving say a 1/4"-1/2" space between the original stile and rail and
the new stile and rail. This is what I was going to recommend to you.
I have done it before and the only drawback is that the new panel
needs to have some spot glue (cannot float) since the only way to get
it in is to cut it a bit undersize of normal, slide it in one side and
then slide it over to seat in the opposite side. the fianl stile or
rail installed cannot be a dado but needs to be rabetted so it can be
inserted.
Good Luck,
J
PS- SWMBO is reading this over my shoulder and says ...nobody will
ever understand what you are talking about.
