: If the glue used is simple wood glue, then I would try to dissolve the glue
: with some very hot water and a heat gun. Keep the area wet and heat it up
: until the glue lets go. Then re-clamp using the same wet glue.

Rod, how long do you think an area needs to be heated before the glue lets go? I just tried, maybe had the heat gun on it for 45s but not much happened. 45s seems like a long time when you're standing there with a red hot heat gun...

cheers
