Hi All, After trying half a dozen solvents, I found that the 3M
Adhesive Remover was the easiest to work with.  The pure acetone
evaporated too rapidly.  Perhaps a store brand works well, too,
because of the water content.  But the 3M stayed fluid long enough
that scraping off the glue was easy, and after it evaporated the
wood was in great shape.  I put a drop of water on the wood and
it began to soak right in.

Musically,
