restoration question
Bruce, a MN Galoot
>I'm restoring a dresser for my wife. She inherited it from her grandfather, so this dates back about 100 years. It was not of the highest quality when new, but it is a family piece, so...
It has/had hideous white, then black, then white paint applied. I removed the paint with a stripper that pretty much leaves the underlying stain alone. The joints are broken, cracked, loose or otherwise coming apart anyway, so I've taken the whole shebang apart to reglue it. The original glue is hide glue.
Here's the question: I was pretty careful but still some of the stripper solution got into a couple of the open joints. Will that stripper stuff affect the hide glue? Is there some way to neutralize it so it doesn't affect the joint?
Thanks
Bruce
