Probably old news for most of you, but the oven trick works for ungluing.
I had a panel that I need to unglue (Lepages), so I popped in the oven for an hour at 200 F. It came apart no problem and I was able to clean the old glue out of the joint.
Was that hide glue?
Geez, 6 months ago I asked about ungluing and was told it was impossible. I am not familiar with Lepages; is it plain old yellow glue?
So the wood was not damaged?
The Lepages glue I remember was used as a "school glue". I had a bottle of it in grammar school. I remember it because the label actually indicated that it was " Mint Flavored" . Amber and translucent. Looked like and was about the same consistency as honey.
Yep, I think it's a PVA glue. Don't have the bottle handy.
I should think not, at only 200F. Certainly won't char, for example. If it weren't dry, it might move a bit due to moisture loss.
Cheers!

There's a bit of darkening on the bottom, but it will probably sand out. I'm sure if I'd put a pan under the panel to prevent direct heat, this could have been avoided. It would probably be a good idea to use the top rack as well. Since the bottom of the panel will be out of sight (not a door), I'm not too concerned.

Lepage is a glue manufacturer, probably only in Canada. All kinds of adhesives, white glue, yellow carpenter's glue, water resistant PVA, construction adhesives, contact cement, rubber cement, etc. I also remember Lepage paper glue (mucilage ?) in elementary school. It came in small glass bottles with a rubber spout that you pressed on the stuff to be glued which would then open the slit & let some glue out. I will never admit to having eaten any of the stuff.
OP probably means white (Lepage Bondfast) or yellow (Lepage Carpenter's) glue.
Luigi Replace "nonet" with "yukonomics" for real email address
Sounds like mucilage. IOW, plant mucous.
And, as an added bonus, the wood is now kiln dried.
LOL.... Was yours Mint Flavored also... Did you ever "not eat" ;~) any white paste either?
Well you just answered my 44 year old question... LOL Probably Mint plant mucous.
On the top rack,eh? Let's see ... "Broiled" white oak, the latest in finishing techniques. ;>)
