Hello from Southern California! I haven't shot a rocket since 1978, but now I am now ready to blast off into space with my son, who's learning this as a Boy Scouts adventure. Our first launch (ROCstock at Lucerne 'Dry' Lake, was cancelled last Saturday because, after a surprise storm, the lake was Not Dry!?!
Oh well, we'll keep looking for launch sites, dates, and events.
For now, we have an adapter ring stuck to an engine mount with wood glue (Titebond II Premium), and we need to remove it. Do you have some ideas please?
Hair dryer? Rubbing Alcohol? Nail Polish remover? (and we won't let 'Mom' know we're using her stuff for rockets!)
Nice to meet you, and 'Thank You!
JC and Masa
 
Because of its acidic properties, undiluted vinegar on a rag works to dissolve wood glue. If the glue is exceptionally stubborn, heat the vinegar in the microwave or on a stovetop. Apply the warm vinegar to the wood glue
