A I asked a luthier how he broke the glue joint in doing
A a repair. A I expected to hear a description of some
A variation of wet heat.
A To my surprise, he said that he used anhydrous ethyl
A alcohol (eg, 190 proof Everclear liquor).
A He said that the alcohol drawa all the water out of the
A glue, and that perfectly dry glue has no strength and
A comes apart easily.
A Does anyone else use alcohol? A Why do some luthiers use
A alcohol and others use wet heat?
