[SEL] How to unglue old furniture joints

[lightningrod]

From: Michael P. Koryciak,Flint, Michigan
                    The older furniture, and even some still available 
new used mostly animal "Hide" glue, still used in high-end acoustic guitars.
                     You'll have to get a small, hollow tube (Needle), a 
piece of  Silicone tubing(6' should do it), and  an old tea kettle or 
similar.

                       Drill a hole in the joint, or force the needle 
into the joint,softening the glue with steam as you go. You might get by 
with just a tea kettle, but I think holding heavy,awkward furniture 
above a stove is asking for trouble.
