Unglueing Titebond
Due to an unforeseen and unexpected opportunity to carry out a strategic redesigning phase on the current project I am in need of advice regarding the unglueing of Titebond 2.
It ain't a joint, just two pieces glued together, I'd rather not prise things to much, but rather make the glue disappear.Boring signature time again!

Yo Outback,
A technical design re-concideration when in the middle of a job can be a minor problem... but....
If you have done some steam bending or have HOT water on hand all is not lost. I've used a steaming box to 'unglue' some pieces & it worked well as well as heaps of HOT water.

We are a hard lot to please aren't we. What I want from a glue is
1. clear glue lines
2. resistance to creep
3. water resistance or better still impervious to water
4. very strong
I also require
1. glue that will have fast tack on Saturday morning when the joints have worked out well and slow tack Sunday afternoon when I realize that a joint is not quite right (after I have assembled it).
2. glue that will hold fast and tight unless I make a mistake then when I require the glued joint to come apart easily.
3. glue that is the result of modern research and technology at Crazy Clark prices
I personally would like a glue that refused to join any two pieces of timber that were not the correct length or shape.
Surely that is not too much to ask?My age is still less than my number of posts

Haven't used Titebond, but if it's a PVA or X link PVA, you may be able to get it apart using white vinegar. Brush it on liberally, and apply gradual force to try & open it up. Keep applying vinegar to soften the glue as it opens.
I don't know how long this works for before the glue has gone off too much. I've used it on yellow glue that has been on for 24 hours. Good luck

Major's advice re using steam should be the go, if you can pipe steam to concentrate it a t the joint, all the better.
Maybe something like a steam nozzle on the side of a coffee maker with a tube attached?
Good excuse for a coffee as well...

What is the best way to disassemble a glue joint?
The key to the disassembly of glue joints is weakening the bond. For Titebond Original and Titebond II, raising the glue joint temperature with a heat gun or a blow dryer will reduce the glue's strength.

You can make it waterproof
You can make ordinary hide glue into liquid glue
And its relatively cheap.

Thanks everyone for the replies, ssems like everyone is on the same track.
I did try Al's idea, I now have no timber, no shed no eyebrows, and a couple of congealed lumps of glue.
I'll give the thing a bit of heat when I get a chance, not likely in the short term I'm afraid, too much work, too little time.
I am surprised no one cast assertions I may have made a mistake, you all get an elephant stamp.Boring signature time again!
