    Default Ungluing Triton glued joint

    I have a need to undo a stuff up which is held together with Triton glue (it has been setting for 48 hours and I have just realised that what I did was a stuff up ).
    This thread deals with Titebond 2 and indicates that heat will soften that glue enough to enable the joint to be separated.

    Does anyone have any idea whether the same applies to Triton's woodglue?
    Or does anyone have an alternative?

    Cheers

    Brush on some white vinegar and gently try to spread the joint. As it starts to come apart, brush on some more vinegar.
    This works with PVA and aliphatic (yellow) glues including Triton.

    Yep - vinegar - great stuff - good for slow rust removal as well as cleanup of uncured epoxy.

    Hey - this is a great tip! I've always used a little water to clean up glue that has squeezed out of joints, but often this has caused me grief with it comes to finishing.

    I'm wondering - do any of you use vinegar as a matter of course to clean up excess glue - and does this prevent the finishing problems I refer to?

    Haven't used it for clean up. I usually put ubeaut wax (sometimes over shellac) on the parts where I don't want glue to squeeze onto. Then it comes away easily when dry, and the wax can be cleaned up with a toothbrush and white spirits.

    G'day DPB,
    I haven't had any problems re finishing - however I do rub out the excess until the surface dries rather than just wash it over and then let the excess dry. I would suggest that you try a test piece with regards whichever finish you prefer to use.
    Regards,
    Bob
