Help with Gulbransen Unit-Pneumatics
By George Bovard

So far all I've been able to do with these "late-model" (1926) Gulbransen Unit-Pnematics is DESTROY THEM! The fixed board is very thin, maybe 3/16", and the old hide glue is incredible. I made a hardwood jig to support the fixed board and tried to drive the pouch block off and finally broke the epoxy on my jig. I can break the fixed boards off in splinters (don't ask how I know), but I'd sure like to find a better solution. I tried microwaving one for about 30 seconds. No help. Should I cook them longer? steam them? (Reblitz doesn't like moisture.)

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA, George (gbb@creighton.edu)
