Hi there,
I have some wooden solebars I need to remove that are super glued in place to the body of a wooden wagon.
Any ideas how I can do this without destory the wagon in the process?
Cheers,
Tom

super glue cannot withstand sheering forces.. Grip the sole bar with pliers and rock gently along the length a bit at a timeand it should free itself.

Make sure you use plenty of cloth between the pliers jaws and the solebar though, otherwise you'll make a mess of 'em.
From experience, the technique suggested by Sir C.C
does work!

Great idea about the using the vice. Shame I didn't read this before I destroyed the wagon in the process
I ended up using nail varnish remover and cutting the solebar in sections then knocking the pieces out with a hammer.
Nevermind, I was not happy with it so it's given me a chance to re-do a few things.
Cheers,
Tom
