Back when I was building model planes and using ELMER S white wood glue
, I would soak the item in Ammonia to loosen the glue . Once I had it
apart , I would wash it with clean water , let it dry , then start all
over again . One word of caution , nothing is garenteed .

I have a small wooden model that is glued together I assume with standard type Elmer's wood glue. I want to take this model apart and use it as a pattern to make some more toys for the grandkids. Does anyone have any "Old Indian Tricks" or old wise tales on how to break apart a glue joint without damaging the part. Thanks for the help.
