    Default ungluing and regluing bowl

    I posted this in the woodturning forum before finding the glue forum!

    My sister in law has asked me to try to repair a karri (NZ) bowl that has during a very hot day slipped from its base and then reglued about 2 cm off centre.

    I think that it has been glued using a hot melt gun - the glue is transparent and very glossy.

    I need a way to separate the two pieces and then reglue.

    I am looking for suggestions as to possible methods eg hot air gun/hairdryer, microwave, fridge/freezer as suggested in some threads - that work!

    Should I - once apart reglue and pin with the same glue or clean off and use something like Titebond/PVA?

    Regards
    Smithy

    found this advice
    I heat up the tip of a box-cutter or an Exacto knife. I use a heat gun/hair drier/propane torch and just slice the item out. You may have to re-heat the blade a couple of times. I also made up a slotted tip for my soldering gun that holds an Exacto blade.
