In Response To: Strip: Removing Hot Melt Glue *LINK* *Pic* (Bobby Curtis)

Hi
Like the others, I have had no trouble removing the hull from the forms with cedar. I did find out in advance purple heart and palm wood had far more tear out so I have avoided as much as possible using hot glue where those woods are used. If you are putting any features in, check first.
good luck
don
