|Subject: scraping glue in the sun
|
|I've been out in the sun (here near Victoria BC) scraping and
|sanding off the old glue from the upper bunks plywood - oh
|sure Westfalia, use an adhesive that lets the paper go in
|patches but sticks like you know what to the plywood - and it
|is nice and sunny and only 24 C. But jeez, I'm dying out there.
|
|How the heck can anyone do anything down south, like where
|Dave McNeely lives for instance?
|
|Just in case any other fool wishes to remove that glue from
|the plywood, I found that using a sharp paint scraper to
|remove most of the bubblegum-like glue, followed by a random
|orbit sander with 40 grit paper was the fastest way of many
|slow ways I tried (heat gun and scraper, solvent)
