 Is it possible to "un-glue" an assembled piece (any assembly and any piece) that has been glued with the white wood glue supplied in most (all?) hobby kits? Eugene Every time I get the urge to exercise, I lie down till the feeling passes. NEVER play leapfrog with Unicorns !!

Soaking or gently steaming the piece in question works.

i managed to unglue frames from the keel of my Yamato by placing the parts in basin of hot water for bout 2 minutes & parts seperated surprisingly easy without damage(aliphatic & white PVA glues) Suspect due to the water being hot it softened the glue Might be advisable to lay parts that are wet on a weighted flat surface ie sheet of glass till dry before reassembling to prevent any curl Not sure if this is the correct way but worked for me Hope that helps
