Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply, in retrospect, I very much understand why I am now having this problem. My issue is that both sides are now glassed. Are you suggesting that I grind out the inside coat or part of it and then soak it? I am guessing its more than just removing the glass coat, as the resin will have impregnated the wood. Is this a viable option?
