I don't really like to clean up someone else's mess but.... I did a repair job for my son's boss (fixed a Tall clock his dog knocked over and chewed the corners off) Turned out to be a rather simple task, just looked difficult at first. Well, anyway, I did a nice job of it and he was so pleased..... and paid Hansom amount for my efforts. Now he has brought me another screw up that he tried to fix. A really nice four poster bed that they knocked the finial off when moving. Split the top of the post, then he tried to glue it back together with Gorilla Glue (Polyurethane glue) and you know that when it swells it pushes if not properly clamped. It did, but is holding nicely, too nicely, I am afraid to try to break it off for fear that I start a major repair job and I don't want to refinish the piece, just fix and blend the finish. So...
My problem is I don't have a clue what to use as a solvent for Poly glue, to soften it where I can pry off the piece w/o further damage. Any ideas?
