Well there you go!
A picture is worth 1,000 words (as they say)
I don't use Finsh Glue but if I ever do I know how to remove it.

| Post subject: | Heat and Fish Glue: A follow up |
Some time I ago, I had glued a fretboard extension with fish glue and then realized I had to remove it. I had no idea what to do so I posted my dilemma on the forum. Got some thoughful responses about the use of heat and water. Almost universal agreement that water was a no go. So I decided to do a little experiment. To see if fish glue would release with heat and how much was needed. So I glued two pieces of maple together with fish glue and clamped, then let it cure for the last couple of weeks. Today , I decided to try and separate the pieces. Here's the results with pics. |

As you can see in the two following pics, the pieces separately cleanly, but with considerable scorching of the maple thru the foil. The heat was applied for 5 consecutive minutes and the iron was set on maximum. But the pieces easily separated with a untility knife blade. ( box cutter for some I guess.) |

I use fish glue a great deal actually you will find that fish glue will release fairly cleanly at about 150F. I use heat blankets with controls , set o full for about 3 min then dial in the temp setting at 200F. I do use a little water with the heat. Your scorch was just too much heat but you did prove that it will release . |
