Appreciate the tutorials; I have watched many, and they are very helpful to a first time acoustic builder. One thing I see you doing a lot is using a heated spatula to separate parts connected with double stick tape. I have found that a bit of Ronsonal lighter fluid squirted where the two parts are joined softens the glue on the tape almost instantly. Once you get the spatula in, a short squirt or two and the parts separate quickly, even with parts as thin as 1/16" or less. And for me, I'm gong to use it anyway to clean the tape and adhesive residue from the wood. Would not want to be without it. |

FYI lighter fluid is Naptha which is easy to find in most places. |
