As it is with most furniture making, we generally rely on repeated joint types for similar areas throughout a piece but if you are like Paul and a hand toolist, you often have different options with regards to methods and techniques. Paul tries to include different ways of achieving the same results to make you aware and teach you. In this episode, we cut and fit the various joints and then fit the raised panels to the head and footboard as we glue up.
Thanks for the shot of the shirt cleaning, Paul đ. Glad to know Iâm not the only one glue is attracted to.
Ian, just in cast you didnât know this, the following is how to remove PVA (Titebond & other brands) from clothing & clampsâI learned this from a Titebondâs senior chemist while attending a class on âEverything you need to know about wood glue.â
Mix together:
1/3 water
1/3 acetone
1/3 distilled white vinegar
For clothes: wet the area and using a nylon or regular toothbrush, gently scrub. This will reverse the glueâs chemistry and wash as normal. However, this MUST be done prior to the clothing item going through a clothes dryer cycle. Once cloth item has gone through the dryer, the glue is permanent and cannot be removed.
Clamps: wet the area where the dried glue is and loosely wrap in plastic wrapâthe kind youâd use to cover food in a bowl. Wait approximately 15 minutes, the scrub as needed using a nylon or brass toothbrush. Repeat as necessaryâŚIâve also had to use a putty knife to clean up decades of abused clamps at a maker-space. Then wipe off the residue with a paper towel. Once the clamp is clean, apply a coat of paste wax which will prevent future glue from adhering to the clamp.
I hope this helps,
Michael
