Hey guys,

I was wondering what the best way would be to remove kerfing. Got some
real obvious joints. Thanks for the help.

I've chiseled out sections before and then scraped the remaining glue/fiber away.
Good luck.

Ross, what kind of glue did you use? If it was titebond, you can use heat (blow dryer..it will take a while), work a knife under it at one of the joints and then use a piece of dental floss to slide along and seperate the rest as the heat weakens the glue bond. I've done this with a neck block with no problem, don't ask why.

Thanks guys. Yes Don I did use Titebond. I will give the hair dryer shot. I
knew that thing taking up space in my drawer that my wife uses would come
in handy some day.

Thanks again!

I had to do this a couple times before I got my linings installed right. I ended up giving up on reversed kerfed linings and going with regular. I found using a paint removing gun (not too expensive at Walmart) worked great. I also found that if you use stick a little screw driver into the kerf and twist as you heat, it'll help shear the glue joint. I found it much easier to do that than to pry or pull the joint apart. I posted about it here on my blog.


On a different one, I had to chisel out and replace a section of lining after removing the back. Posted about that here.

Thanks, Charlie. I mostly do it so I'll have an incentive to keep taking pictures and document my builds, and the accountability of knowing people are watching is a bonus (sometimes :).
